Information

This very rare pair of floor lamps, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden during the 1950s, exemplifies the refined warmth and minimalist elegance of Scandinavian mid-century modern lighting.

Each lamp features a slender brass stem rising from a circular brass base, supporting original slightly tapered fabric lampshades that diffuse light softly to create Jakobsson’s signature warm and atmospheric glow. A distinctive vertical brass rod extends above each shade, adding both structural interest and decorative flair. Twin pull switches beneath the shade enhance usability while balancing the overall design visually.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a master of lighting design known for his skillful manipulation of light diffusion and creation of intimate ambiances. His Markaryd-based company remains highly regarded for producing iconic mid-century Scandinavian lighting.

The lamps retain a natural patina on their brass surfaces, underscoring their vintage authenticity. Each lamp measures 41 cm in diameter and 160 cm in height (16.1 x 63 inches).
