Hans-Agne Jakobsson ceiling lamps

The ceiling lamp model T372/12 Patricia, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, is a refined example of Scandinavian mid-century chandelier design. Combining a formal geometric structure with a luminous material palette, the T372/12 Patricia reflects Jakobsson’s emphasis on ambient light diffusion and sculptural elegance.

The chandelier is composed of a polished brass framework with twelve evenly spaced arms radiating from a central vertical stem. Each arm terminates in a socket enclosed by a spherical clear glass globe. The brass has a high-gloss finish that enhances the overall reflectivity and gives the piece a warm, golden tone. The linear arms and vertical symmetry create a sense of order and balance, characteristic of Jakobsson’s modernist design language.

The clear glass globes are uniformly shaped, with smooth surfaces that allow the bulbs to emit unfiltered light. The transparency of the globes ensures a bright, expansive illumination while visually lightening the structural presence of the chandelier. The interplay of brass and clear glass results in a harmonious contrast between solid and transparent elements, contributing to the lamp’s airy yet substantial visual impression.

Condition is excellent, with the brass retaining its polished appearance and exhibiting only minimal signs of age. The globes are all original, intact, and free of chips, cracks, or discoloration. The precision of the joinery and the even spacing of the arms reflect the high production standards typical of Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB during this period.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was widely recognized for his ability to transform lighting into an atmospheric design element. With the T372/12 Patricia, he merges functional illumination with decorative form, creating a piece that serves as both a chandelier and a sculptural centerpiece. This model exemplifies his work with glass and brass during the 1960s, a period in which he explored multi-arm ceiling fixtures for residential and commercial interiors.
