Hans-Agne Jakobsson floor lamp

This floor lamp is a rare model G-110 designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden. It features a circular base and a slender vertical stand in polished brass, which gives the piece a refined and elegant appearance. The shade is composed of multiple layers of cascading cream-colored silk fringe arranged in concentric tiers, creating a soft, diffused light and a sculptural presence when illuminated.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a Swedish interior designer and lighting manufacturer known for his innovative approach to creating atmospheric lighting. He worked extensively with materials such as brass, wood, and glass, but he became especially recognized for his use of fabric and fringe, which allowed him to achieve a warm and indirect light effect. His company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, founded in the 1950s in Markaryd, produced a wide range of lighting fixtures that are today highly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian modern design.

The design of this lamp is characteristic of Jakobsson’s mid-century Scandinavian style, which emphasized soft illumination, natural materials, and simple but elegant forms. The use of fringe not only provides a decorative element but also serves to diffuse the light evenly, avoiding glare and creating a calm and intimate atmosphere. This model is a rare example, making it a notable collector’s piece.

The lamp is in excellent condition with only small signs of age and use, consistent with its vintage character. The brass retains its luster, and the silk fringe shows minimal wear, preserving the intended texture and light-diffusing qualities.
