Pair of Hans-Agne Jakobsson Wall Lamps, Sweden Second half of the 20th century

Creator: AB Markaryd - Hans-Agne Jakobsson
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
The mid-20th century brought about a revolution in design throughout Scandinavia, where function and form merged in the most intriguing ways. One such example of this era’s spirit is this pair of exceptional wall lamps. The lamps by Hans-Agne Jakobsson were made during a period when creativity knew no bounds, and designers were free to explore new horizons in crafting captivating lighting fixtures.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson prized the marriage of form and function, with a poise that is hard to imitate or force. The shape and materials of the shades set the overall aesthetic of these lamps. The opaque glass is made into a characteristic form with a spherical body narrowing towards the bottom, held securely by the brass shade holders. The holders feel airy, slender, and minimal, allowing the focus to be on the shades and the light they emit. The brass construction also creates a rich, warm glow, enhancing the light while exuding a sense of effortless sophistication. The mid-20th century was defined by leading Swedish designers’ sleek and innovative modernist creations that became the trademark style in Scandinavian Modern lighting - the prowess of Jakobsson is evident here as these lamps can both stand out or blend into a room, depending on the interior style.

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. This model was produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for AB Markaryd in Sweden.
