Hans-Agne Jakobsson Model "G93" Brass Floor Lamp, Sweden 1950s

Creator: Hans Agnes Jokobsson
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
Floor lamps have been used as decorative focal points for rooms since the early 20th century. In Swedish mid-century design, where interior lighting is of particular importance, Hans-Agne Jakobsson managed to master the art of soft, cosy light without blinding or crushing space perception.

The mid-century era was marked by a departure from ornate, intricate designs and a shift towards simplicity, functionality, and a seamless blend of form and function. Evident with this floor lamp, lighting fixtures of the era are characterised by their sleek silhouettes, geometric shapes, and innovative use of materials. This piece is made of brass, which was the preferred material for most floor lamps of the era as it is enduring and develops a beautiful patina over time. The brass body has an appealing, patinated golden colour that stands out even more against the cream-coloured shade. The light, when diffused through the fabric shade, casts a warm and inviting glow, creating an ambiance that is both timeless and comforting. Swedish mid-century lighting models, including floor lamps, endure in popularity thanks to the emphasis on clean lines and beautiful forms that create a sense of simplicity and harmony allowing them to seamlessly integrate with various interior styles. The precise construction of this lamp ensures that every detail was carefully considered, from the proportions to the mix of materials. As the tripod base is followed by a long, straight line, it creates balance that shows the designer’s keen eye.

True to Hans-Agne Jakobsson’s design vision, this floor lamp model utilizes its quality materials to create a soft quality of light. This “G93” floor lamp was created at his own famed workshop in Markaryd, Sweden where the Swedish designer and cabinetmaker gave shape to most of his era-defining creations.
