Information

These rare floor lamps, model G-185, were designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by his company in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1970s. They exemplify Jakobsson’s signature approach to lighting design, combining functionality with a refined minimalist aesthetic.

The lamps feature a brass construction, with a conical, slightly asymmetrical lampshade mounted on an adjustable vertical rod. The shade can be adjusted along the vertical pole and angled to direct light, making these lamps versatile for both reading and ambient lighting. The circular base, also made of brass, ensures stability while maintaining the lamp’s sleek, minimalist profile. The ability to adjust the lampshade adds to the functionality, allowing for both task and ambient lighting in a variety of settings.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919–2009) was a renowned Swedish interior and industrial designer, celebrated for his innovative lighting designs that focused on creating soft, diffused light. His work frequently incorporated materials like brass, copper, and wood, emphasizing craftsmanship and functional beauty. Jakobsson’s designs remain deeply connected to the Scandinavian modern tradition, marked by simplicity, high-quality materials, and an unwavering attention to detail.

The manufacturer, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, was a highly regarded lighting company based in Markaryd, Sweden. Founded in the 1950s, the company became known for producing a wide range of elegant lighting solutions, including chandeliers, wall sconces, and floor lamps.

These lamps remain in original condition, showing a patina consistent with age and wear on the brass surfaces, which enhances their authentic vintage character.

The dimensions of each lamp are 24.5 cm (9.6 inches) in width, 40 cm (15.7 inches) in depth, and 150 cm (59 inches) in height, making them both functional and visually striking fixtures for any interior.
