Information

This pair of table lamps, model BN-26, was designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, during the 1950s. The lamps feature a flared pedestal base supporting a tiered, dome-shaped shade, all crafted from brass-coated aluminum. The layered construction of the shade is designed to diffuse light softly while minimizing glare, a hallmark of Jakobsson’s lighting designs.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a Swedish designer celebrated for his innovative use of materials and his ability to create atmospheric lighting effects. His designs frequently employed layered and perforated metal elements to control light dispersion, producing warm, inviting illumination. Jakobsson’s work earned international acclaim for its fusion of functionality and sculptural elegance.

These lamps exemplify mid-century Scandinavian lighting principles, emphasizing simplicity, clean form, and the interplay of light with material. The brass-coated aluminum surfaces have developed a gentle patina over time, enhancing their vintage appeal.

Each lamp measures 33 cm in diameter and 45 cm in height (13 x 17.7 inches).
