About the Item

Hans-Agne Jakobsson made a significant mark on the design world during the 20th century, particularly through his exploration of minimalist aesthetics and innovative lighting solutions. As these ‘Sonata’ wall lamps showcase, the Swedish designer mastered both the direction and colour of his lighting designs. These wall lamps have all the characteristics Jakobsson was famous for: they are elegant and stylish, and while the design allows them to be large and shiny, they never become tacky. With each brass arm holding a tinted glass shade, these lamps clearly show the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the frames. The structural design of this pair is reminiscent of a torch, or more-so a candelabra, highlighting the pair’s great proportions. When lit, they create an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the brass a vivid colour. The tinted glass shades are transparent, letting the brass and light bulbs shine, further enhancing the torch-like look. The 1960s were defined by leading Swedish designers’ sleek and innovative modernist designs that became the trademark style in Scandinavian Modern lighting - the prowess of Jakobsson evident as these models stand as statement pieces in a room. Since the two materials - brass and tinted glass - dictate the appearance of the wall lamps, much attention was paid to their quality and to the craftsmanship that united them in their cylindrical shapes. Sconces are a timeless type of lighting fixture that can easily elevate their surroundings. These fixtures never go out of style, and have been in use for centuries for good reason. These ‘Sonata’, or ‘V169-5’, models were produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson’s own company, Hans Agne Jakobsson AB, in Sweden. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use.
