Hans-Agne Jakobsson Chandelier for Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB Markaryd, Sweden 1960s
About the Item
This equally rare and marvellous, brass nine-light chandelier was created in what we now call “the golden age of Scandinavian design”. Hans-Agne Jakobsson was the great Swedish master of lighting, designing some of the most recognizable mid-century modern lamps of Scandinavia.
The design of this nine-shade lamp is different from the designer’s “T-837” and “Patricia” series in quite a few ways, predominantly its shades’ shape and decorative shade holder cups. These features make this model immediately recognizable even in Jakobsson’s impressive oeuvre. Standing out the most are the uniquely shaped nine, amber-coloured glass shades that are equally mesmerizing whether the light is on or off. Similarly to his other models, the design clearly shows the Swedish designer’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the structure. The brass structure is held by a single, vertical brass pole that holds the nine symmetrical poles with a shade on each end. The shades are arranged on two levels, three on the upper one and six on the lower, resulting in an even distribution of light. Additionally, this arrangement prevents the design from looking cluttered, instead, it assures that each shade is visible from all angles. The shade holder cups have a perforated edge with a repetitive pattern resembling small crowns. This unique element provides an almost royal appearance to this model. This model has all the characteristics Jakobsson was famous for; it is elegant and stylish, and while the design allows it to be big and shiny, it never becomes tacky.
Jakobsson was famed for his imaginative light fixtures, which utilize unique angles and materials to create a soft quality of light. With a background in cabinetmaking and the world of architecture, shaping light with the use of materials and colours came naturally to him. This chandelier was created at Jakobsson’s own famed workshop in Markaryd, Sweden.

About the designer:
Born in 1919 in Gotland, Sweden, Hans Agne Jakobsson is one of the most well-known Swedish lighting designers. He did his carpenter apprenticeship before studying architecture in Gothenburg.
First working as an industrial designer for General Motors, he later founded his own company after being an assistant to the designers Carl Malmsten and Werner West. In 1950, due to Christmas, he added a model of hanging lamps in small strips of pine in one of his stores to soften the lively lighting of the shop window. The people who were passing by were immediately seduced by this hanging lamp, which started it all. He established his own company in 1951: Hans Agne Jakobsson AB and began producing this model in his factories and achieved success abroad as well. In 50 years, he designed more than 2000 lamps with unique designs.
He used materials and experimented with multiple techniques, for example using fabrics with fringes, blown glass of colour and smoked glass. His great diversity resulted in a wide range of timeless lighting models. These pieces continue to seduce design lovers, as they adapt themselves to any interior, without blending into the background.
Today, Jakobsson’s works can be found in private homes as well as public institutions throughout Sweden. The designer passed away in 2009 in Sweden, leaving behind a great legacy. ~H.
