Hans-Agne Jakobsson ceiling lamp

This rare ceiling lamp was designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by his company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1950s. The fixture features a brass structure with a warm, golden patina that beautifully complements the amber hand-blown glass shades. The glass elements are arranged symmetrically, creating a rich, atmospheric diffusion of light that enhances the lamp’s sculptural presence.

The design consists of multiple brass arms radiating from a central column, each supporting one amber glass sphere. This composition emphasizes the lamp’s sculptural quality, making it visually striking even when unlit. The use of glass in varying shades and translucencies is a hallmark of Jakobsson’s work, aimed at producing soft, warm illumination suited for intimate and inviting interiors.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a seminal figure in Swedish lighting design, celebrated for his mastery in manipulating light through form and material. His work consistently sought to evoke warmth and atmosphere, qualities that have made his lamps enduringly popular. His company in Markaryd became synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and innovative lighting solutions during the mid-century period.

This lamp is in good vintage condition, showing a natural patina on the brass and minor wear consistent with its age. The suspension height is adjustable to accommodate various interior spaces.

The lamp measures 105 cm in diameter and 90 cm in height (41.3 x 35.4 inches), with an adjustable total height extending up to 245 cm (96.5 inches).
