Very Rare Floor Lamp, Model G89 by Hans-Agne Jakobsson, 1950s
-
Description
This very rare floor lamp, model G89, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, is a stunning example of Scandinavian modern design from the 1950s. The lamp features a slender brass frame with a patinated finish, giving it a warm, refined aesthetic that captures the essence of mid-century Scandinavian lighting. The brass frame adds both elegance and durability to the design, and its subtle patina enhances the lamp’s vintage character.
The lamp is supported by a circular brass base that ensures stability while maintaining a minimal footprint. This base design allows the lamp to remain visually light despite its structural solidity. The original lampshade, crafted from woven textile and a type of cane, emits a soft and diffused light, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere in any room. The combination of the materials in the lampshade contributes to the lamp’s natural and textured feel, typical of Jakobsson’s design approach.
The floor lamp includes twin pull switches, adding to its functional appeal by allowing independent control of the two light sources. This feature provides flexibility in lighting, making it ideal for a variety of settings. The lamp retains its original fittings and markings, underscoring its authenticity and further enhancing its value as a collectible piece of mid-century Swedish design.
The dimensions of the lamp are 41 cm (16.1 inches) in diameter and 149 cm (58.7 inches) in height, making it a substantial yet elegant piece suitable for larger rooms or spaces where its tall, graceful presence can make an impact.
