Ceiling Lamp in Brass and Glass by Hans-Agne Jakobsson, 1950s

The ceiling lamp model T 348/3, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by his company Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1950s, is a distinguished example of Scandinavian mid-century lighting design. The lamp exemplifies Jakobsson’s mastery of combining materials and form to achieve both functional illumination and atmospheric effect. Its structure features a polished brass frame composed of three elegantly extended arms that converge centrally, each arm terminating in a spherical glass shade.

These shades are crafted from hand-blown clear glass with characteristic air bubbles trapped within the material, a hallmark of artisanal glasswork that enhances light diffusion and softens the overall glow. The interplay between the polished brass and the textured glass creates a sophisticated balance of warmth and clarity, underscoring the design’s subtlety and restraint. Over time, the brass has developed a rich, deep patina, which contributes to the lamp’s vintage authenticity and adds character without compromising structural integrity.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was renowned for his innovative lighting designs that emphasized mood and atmosphere, often utilizing natural materials and exquisite craftsmanship. His works from this period played a significant role in shaping the aesthetic of Scandinavian lighting, combining utility with sculptural form. This ceiling lamp reflects these principles, serving as both a functional light source and an elegant sculptural object within interior spaces.

Dimensions of the lamp are 50 cm in diameter (19.7 inches) and 67 cm in height (26.4 inches).
