About the Item
Between the 1920s and 1950s, Böhlmarks was a significant player in the Swedish design movement. Harald Notini, after becoming creative director in 1916, drove the company forward, producing what were considered pioneering and distinctive luminaires for the time. With an unmistakeable design, this model ‘8596’ wall sconce belongs to a historic collection of luminaires from a golden era.
At Arvid Böhlmarks Lampfabrik, the 1940s and 50s represented a period marked by undulating forms and organic material choices in a fundamental Swedish Modern manner. Consequently, the shape and material of the shade determines the overall aesthetic of this lamp. The design encapsulates a harmonious interplay of light and shadow, casting a gentle glow that will be sure to enhance the ambiance of any space. The 1950s was a period of renewal, prosperity, and optimism following the world wars. This resulted in lighting designers seeking to create pieces that embodied the spirit of the age, reflecting the fast-paced and industrialised world. The most distinctive design element of this model is the large white lacquered metal reflector that is in a folded shape. This ingenious addition not only provides a clean backdrop against which the front brass structure stands out, but also reflects the light to create a cosy effect. It also serves as a back-plate, therefore the lamp appears as if it were not fixed to the wall. The front brass plate also features a subtle decorative element; a perforated floral design. The brass exudes warmth and elegance, contrasting beautifully with the off-white metal.
The composition of the piece with its soft shapes and clever decorative elements give this wall lamp a stylish look that is guaranteed to set the tone of its interior. The sleek lines create a perfect balance between the ornamented features of the early 20th century, and the later phase of mid-century modernism with its more minimal, simplified lines.

Hans Agne Jakobsson Brass Wall Lamp, Midcentury from Sweden
By Hans-Agne Jakobsson
Located in Forest, BE
Nice brass wall lamps. They provide a warm atmosphere and even better when lighted. Made of thin stripes of brass delicately riveted with a brass nail to the metal frame. Minimal details. We have a set of 4 to match this one. Great to have them as a set of 5. When can get more upon request.
______________________________________________________________
Hans-Agne Jakobsson naît à Hvadhem sur l’île de Gotland en Suède. Menuisier de formation, il poursuit à Göteborg des études d’architecture qui lui permettent d’intégrer le département de design industriel au sein de General Motors.
Très vite, sa passion du bois le rattrape et il s’oriente alors vers des créations plus artisanales. Il devient ainsi le collaborateur de designers célèbres tels que Carl Malmsten ou le très radical Werner West. De ces années d’apprentissage naît une profonde passion pour la lumière, la subtilité et la magie de l’éclairage. Installé dès 1950 à Markaryd dans le sud de la Suède, il propose ses créations dans sa boutique du centre-ville.
L’anecdote raconte qu’un soir de Noël, trouvant son espace trop sombre, il crée dans l’urgence une suspension en pin. Son succès est tel qu’il décide de fonder en 1951 sa propre entreprise Hans-Agne Jakobsson A/B.
La région de Markaryd est une région bordée de lacs et de bois sombres. Jakobsson ne s’inspire pas directement de la nature mais de l’atmosphère si particulière qui se dégage de ces paysages, où la lumière semble être en conflit perpétuel avec la nuit. Influencé par le modernisme, il s’intéresse également très tôt aux nouveaux matériaux qui apparaissent dans les années 1950. Le laiton le passionne tout particulièrement. Il l’associe naturellement au verre pour créer des modèles dont les plus monumentaux orneront les bâtiments publics, les salles de concert ou les églises.
Il n’oublie pas pour autant les intérieurs de ses contemporains et crée de nombreuses lampes, lampadaires ou appliques n’ayant pour frontières que les limites de son imagination. Viendront au milieu des années 1960 les modèles en laiton et fils de soie qui connaissent un immense succès et propulsent Jakobsson parmi les créateurs les plus influents de sa génération.
