Model "V-220" Brass Wall Lamp by Hans-Agne Jakobsson, Sweden 1960s

Creator: Hans-Agne Jakobsson
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
While Hans-Agne Jakobsson designed and produced various types of furniture, his lighting received greater international attention - and not without good reason. As this “V-220” wall lamp showcases, the Swedish designer was a master of both the direction and colour of his lighting designs.

With a brass frame holding a tinted glass shade, this lamp clearly shows the Jakobsson’s studies in architecture, with beautiful geometric forms and symmetry dominating the structures. The lamp is a wall-mounted lighting fixture, traditionally used to hold candles or torches. This wall lamp additionally has a structural design that is reminiscent of a torch. The glass is transparent, letting the brass and light bulb show, further enhancing the torch-like look. The simple design is clean with a straightforwardly modern look. Thanks to the combination of the two materials, this wall lamp is brilliant in its simplicity. The prowess of the designer becomes evident as this model stands as a statement piece despite its minimalism. Since the two materials - brass and glass - dictate the look, much attention was paid to their quality and to the craftsmanship that united them into the torch-like shape to create an effortlessly modern look.

The design has great proportions, and when lit, this lamp creates an exceptionally atmospheric light, giving the brass a vivid colour as well. Wall lamps are a timeless type of lighting fixture that can easily elevate their surroundings, and never go out of style.
