This rare table lamp, model B-142, was designed and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson in Markaryd, Sweden during the 1950s. It is a remarkable example of Scandinavian modernist lighting, crafted entirely from brass. The lamp features a cylindrical column supporting a multi-tiered shade made of stacked concentric rings.
