Information

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. The lamp features a brass structure with a gently curved, flared top, creating an elegant and sculptural form. A decorative perforated trim along the edge of the top section adds a refined touch to the overall design. The lower part of the lamp consists of layered silk fringes in a rich green color, creating a cascading effect that softens and diffuses the emitted light, producing a warm and inviting glow.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson, a renowned Swedish designer, was known for his mastery in creating atmospheric lighting. He frequently experimented with materials such as brass, wood, and fabric to achieve the soft, diffused illumination that characterizes much of his work. This lamp is a perfect example of his approach, where the balance between the structured brass elements and the softness of the silk fringes results in a harmonious and expressive aesthetic.

The brass components of the lamp lend a polished, reflective quality to the design, contrasting with the delicate softness of the fringes. The layered silk fringes act as a light filter, diffusing the light and reducing glare, thus enhancing the lamp’s ability to create a warm, ambient glow that can transform a room’s atmosphere.

The lamp remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of age-appropriate wear on the brass surface, adding to its character. The silk fringes are well-preserved with a uniform texture, maintaining their original beauty and functionality.

The dimensions of the lamp are 28 cm (11 inches) in diameter and 35 cm (13.8 inches) in height, making it an ideal size for various interior spaces. Its refined design and atmospheric light make it a standout piece in any modern or mid-century inspired interior.
