About the Item

Mirrors are versatile pieces of interior décor with several functions and advantages; they create depth, increase light coverage, and add a statement to any space. Fusing function and form, table mirrors offer useful reflection while also providing an eye-catching focal point in any room. This rare and beautiful mirror by Swedish master of light, Hans-Agne Jakobsson, has a stylish, defined look that is sure to stand out in any space. Vanity or table mirrors such as this model are freestanding jewels on any table, functional focal points that can easily add personality to any interior. This large model’s creator, Hans-Agne Jakobsson is mostly associated with his decorative lighting designs, however, he also excelled in other fields of design as this piece demonstrates. With a rectangular frame and curved base, this sculptural mirror has a stalwart stance that commands attention not solely for its size. The ratio of curved and straight lines is measured precisely, resulting in a balanced design. The patinated brass further enhances the versatile lines of the frame and base connected by joints on the sides that allow the mirror to be adjusted in its position. As such, this model is a great utilitarian piece for a vanity table with an impressive size. Like almost all Hans-Agne Jakobsson models, this mirror was also produced by his own company that he established in 1951: Hans Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden. Accent mirrors can be great in small spaces as they can make a room look bigger. This extremely rare Hans-Agne Jakobsson modern mirror has a strong and stylish presence that can both dominate and complement its interior. The design and material provide simple elegance that is a perfect way to bring some understated Swedish modernism to any space. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some marks on the patinated brass frame. Dimensions: 12.2 in W x 6.1 in D x 20.66 in H 31 cm W x 15.5 cm D x 52.5 cm H About the Designer: Born in 1919 in Gotland, Sweden, Hans Agne Jakobsson is one of the most well-known Swedish lighting designers. He did his carpenter apprenticeship before studying architecture in Gothenburg. First working as an industrial designer for General Motors, he later founded his own company after being an assistant to the designers Carl Malmsten and Werner West. In 1950, due to Christmas, he added a model of hanging lamps in small strips of pine in one of his stores to soften the lively lighting of the shop window. The people who were passing by were immediately seduced by this hanging lamp, which started it all. He established his own company in 1951: Hans Agne Jakobsson AB and began producing this model in his factories and achieved success abroad as well. In 50 years, he designed more than 2000 lamps with unique designs. He used materials and experimented with multiple techniques, for example using fabrics with fringes, blown glass of colour and smoked glass. His great diversity resulted in a wide range of timeless lighting models. These pieces continue to seduce design lovers, as they adapt themselves to any interior, without blending into the background. Today, Jakobsson’s works can be found in private homes as well as public institutions throughout Sweden. The designer passed away in 2009 in Sweden, leaving behind a great legacy. ~H.
