Hans-Agne Jakobsson ceiling lamp

This ceiling lamp, model T-601/M, was designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, in 1965. It features a brass frame with a softly curved top and a decorative perforated edge. Suspended from the edge are multiple layers of silk fringes that diffuse light to create a warm and soft glow, a hallmark of Jakobsson’s lighting designs.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a Swedish designer known for his innovative use of materials like brass, wood, and fabric to craft atmospheric and elegant lighting pieces. His work significantly shaped the mid-century Scandinavian modern aesthetic, focusing on simplicity, functionality, and craftsmanship.

This lamp embodies mid-century Scandinavian design principles with its combination of organic materials and refined detailing. The brass has developed a natural patina, and the silk fringes remain in good vintage condition with gentle aging. The lamp measures 28 cm in diameter and 36 cm in height (11 x 14.2 inches), with an adjustable total drop reaching up to 120 cm (47.2 inches).
