Hans-Agne Jakobsson Model "B120" Brass Table Lamp, Sweden Mid-20th Century

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

Description
With a legacy spanning over seven decades, Hans-Agne Jakobsson redefined modern design by effortlessly infusing Scandinavian simplicity with innovation, resulting in pieces like this "B120" lamp that transcends time. While Jakobsson designed and produced various types of furniture, his lighting models received the greatest international attention, not without a good reason. He quickly gained prominence for his commitment to craftsmanship and an unwavering dedication to quality materials.

Jakobsson’s design philosophy was built on merging form and function, a pursuit that would soon permeate the ethos of Scandinavian mid-century modernism. Through the unique shape of this lamp, the light is beautifully diffused, creating a lovely ambiance. In the context of this model, the layered shades not only diffuse light in a captivating manner, but also imbue the piece with a distinct geometric elegance. The resulting silhouette is a testament to Jakobsson's meticulous attention to detail. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, this lamp is durable, due to the use of brass. Brass was the preferred material of mid-20th century lighting manufacturers because of its malleability, strength, and beautiful golden sheen. The warm, golden hue, complemented by the timeless design, allows the lamp to seamlessly integrate into a variety of interior styles. While certain lighting fixture designs go in and out of style, some lamps remain forever stylish. This “B120” model is one such design thanks to its timeless aesthetic and quality.

This table lamp was created with functionality and elegance in mind, culminating in a piece that transcends simple utility. It is a lovely blend of form and function, a luminary that offers not just light, but also a touch of modern charm that can enhance the decor and warmth of an interior.
