Information

This rare ceiling lamp model T-603, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1960s, is a remarkable example of mid-century Scandinavian lighting design. The lamp showcases a striking combination of materials, including polished brass and cascading silk fringes, creating a warm and diffused lighting effect that enhances the ambiance of any space.

The structure of the lamp is built around a polished brass frame, which features stepped detailing at the suspension point. This geometric accent adds visual interest and sophistication, highlighting Jakobsson’s skillful integration of form and function. The shade is composed of multiple layers of silk fringes in a golden/yellow hue, which softly diffuse the light, producing an inviting, atmospheric glow. The fringes cascade downward, contributing both to the lamp’s elegant appearance and its ability to create a gentle, diffuse light.

The design of this ceiling lamp exemplifies the essence of mid-century Scandinavian modern style, with its blend of functional craftsmanship and an eclectic, visually captivating aesthetic. Jakobsson’s use of materials and form creates a piece that is both decorative and functional, enhancing the space while offering a soft, ambient light.

The dimensions of the lamp are 39 cm (15.35 inches) in diameter and 25.5 cm (10.04 inches) in height, making it an ideal size for a variety of interior settings. Its elegant design and warm illumination make it a timeless fixture for modern interiors, where it can serve as both a functional light source and a statement piece of design.
