Hans-Agne Jakobsson ceiling lamp

The T 348/9 ceiling lamp, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1950s, is a rare example of Scandinavian mid-century modern lighting. The chandelier features a symmetrical brass frame supporting nine clear glass globes, each containing an exposed light source. The fixture measures 80 cm in diameter and 120 cm in height, resulting in a substantial yet elegant presence.

The brass structure is composed of angular arms radiating from a central column, creating a balanced, architectural form. The polished brass has developed a natural patina over time, enhancing the vintage character of the piece. The clear glass globes provide a sense of openness and lightness, allowing the bulbs to be fully visible and contributing to the dynamic interplay of light and reflections.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was renowned for his atmospheric lighting designs, often combining brass and glass to create fixtures that balance functionality with sculptural beauty. His work is firmly rooted in Scandinavian modernist principles, emphasizing soft, diffused illumination and the use of high-quality materials. His designs were widely utilized in both residential and public interiors throughout the mid-20th century.

This particular model is well preserved, showing minor signs of wear on the brass consistent with its age. The original glass globes remain intact, maintaining the fixture’s authentic appearance and function.
