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 distinguished example of Scandinavian mid-century modern lighting. The chandelier features a polished brass frame supporting twelve hand-blown textured glass globes arranged symmetrically in a tiered formation. The fixture measures 80 cm in diameter and 170 cm in height, including the suspension rod, giving it a commanding presence suitable for various interior spaces.

The brass structure is geometrically composed, with angular arms radiating from a central column to create a balanced, architectural silhouette. The textured glass globes diffuse light softly and evenly, producing a shimmering effect when illuminated. This interplay between the transparent, textured glass and the solid brass frame highlights the refined materiality and craftsmanship integral to Jakobsson’s work.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was known for his expertise in atmospheric lighting design, often employing brass and glass to achieve warm, indirect illumination combined with sculptural elegance. His designs focus on soft, inviting light and were widely utilized in both private and public interiors, embodying core principles of Scandinavian modernism.

This lamp is well preserved, with minor signs of wear on the brass consistent with its age. The original glass globes remain intact, maintaining the authenticity and functional integrity of the piece.
