Information

This rare pair of floor lamps, model G-93, designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1960s, exemplifies Scandinavian modern design through its refined material selection and elegant proportions. The lamps feature a brass base with a three-pronged structure that ensures both stability and balance. The slender central stem is wrapped in high-quality brown leather, with visible stitching that highlights the craftsmanship involved. Each lamp retains its original pleated shade, which diffuses light softly, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The inclusion of a pull-chain switch with a brass ball detail on each lamp adds functional elegance to the design.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919–2009) was a Swedish interior architect and lighting designer renowned for his innovative work in lighting diffusion and material exploration. His designs often incorporated natural elements such as wood, leather, and fabric, aiming to create a softness in illumination that was both functional and atmospheric. In 1951, Jakobsson founded his lighting company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, in Markaryd, Sweden. His work gained international acclaim for its high-quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and timeless appeal, particularly in the realm of lighting design.

The condition of the lamps is good, with patina and signs of aging on the brass elements, adding to their authenticity and vintage character. The leather wrapping shows minor wear that is consistent with age and use. The pleated shades remain in good condition, with some natural aging visible, but these signs only serve to enhance the originality and charm of the pieces.

These lamps stand as rare and highly desirable examples of Jakobsson’s work, blending functional design with artistic quality, and showcasing the enduring elegance of mid-century Scandinavian lighting.
