Scandinavian Modern Wall Lights and Sconces
SCANDINAVIAN MODERN STYLE
Scandinavian modernism is perhaps the warmest and most organic iteration of modernist design. The work of the designers associated with vintage Scandinavian modern furniture was founded on centuries-old beliefs in both quality craftsmanship and the ideal that beauty should enhance even the humblest accessories of daily life.
ORIGINS OF SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Emerged in the 1930s
- Scandinavian design and Nordic design originated primarily in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Norway
- Introduced in the United States in mid-20th century
- Informed by the Bauhaus; influenced American mid-century modernism
CHARACTERISTICS OF SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGN
- Bold, clean lines and simple, sturdy symmetries
- Use of natural materials — native woods such as pine, ash and beech
- Open, airy spaces
- Promotion of functionality
- Emphasis on craftsmanship; rooted in cabinetry profession and traditional construction techniques
- Minimal ornamentation (little to no embellishment)
- A neutral or light color palette owing to prominence of light woods
SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGNERS TO KNOW
- Alvar Aalto
- Hans Wegner
- Kaare Klint
- Arne Jacobsen
- Greta Magnusson Grossman
- Finn Juhl
- Arne Vodder
- Verner Panton
ICONIC SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE DESIGNS
VINTAGE SCANDINAVIAN MODERN FURNITURE ON 1STDIBS
The gentle, organic contours that are typical of Scandinavian design appear in the furnishings and decor created by Danish, Finnish and Swedish designers not as a stylistic gesture, but rather as a practical, ergonomic — and, as importantly, elegant — response to the human form.
Each nation produced exceptional talents in all areas of the applied arts, yet each had its forté. Sweden was home to Greta Magnusson Grossman and Bruno Mathsson — creators of the classic Grasshopper lighting series and Berlin daybed, respectively — but the country excelled most notably at ceramics. In the 1920s at the great Gustavsberg porcelain manufactory, Wilhelm Kåge introduced pieces in the Scandinavian style based on influences from folklore to Cubism; his skills were passed on to his versatile and inspired pupils Berndt Friberg and Stig Lindberg.
Likewise, Finland produced a truly ingenious Scandinavian modern furniture designer in the architect Alvar Aalto, a master at melding function and artistic form in works like the Paimio chair, created in collaboration with his first wife, Aino. Yet Finnish glassware was pre-eminent, crafted in expressive, sculptural designs by Tapio Wirkkala and Timo Sarpaneva.
The Danes excelled at chairs. Hans Wegner and Arne Jacobsen were exemplars of the country’s facility with wood, particularly teak.
Wegner created such iconic pieces as the Round chair and the Wishbone chair; Jacobsen — while the revolutionary architect and furniture innovator produced the best-selling plywood Ant chair — designed two classic upholstered pieces of the 1950s: the Swan chair and Egg chair. The list of great Danes could go on and on, including Finn Juhl, a stylistic maverick and maker of the bold Chieftain chair; Poul Kjaerholm, with his lean metal-and-rattan aesthetic; and Verner Panton, who introduced a vibrant Pop note into international design.
Today, decades after their heyday, the prolific, ever-evolving Scandinavian modernists continue to amaze and delight, and interior designers all over the world use their pieces to bring warmth to any given space.
On 1stDibs, you will note both instantly recognizable vintage Scandinavian modern chairs, sofas, rugs and tables — those that have earned iconic status over time — and many new discoveries.

Hans Agne Jakobsson Brass Wall Lamp, Set of 4 Mid-century from Sweden
Located in Forest, BE
Nice set of 4 brass wall lamps. They provide a warm atmosphere and even better when lighted. Made of thin strips of brass delicately riveted with a brass nail to the metal frame. Minimal details. Great to have them as a set of 4 and especially in that condition. When can get more upon request. (Two more available).
______________________________________________________________
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.
