The T766 pendant lamp is a stunning example of Swedish modern design. Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a prominent designer and lighting manufacturer who played a crucial role in shaping the aesthetic of Swedish design during the mid- and even later part of the 20th century.
The design of this lamp features several unique solutions, however, the perforated sheet metal body stand in focus. The cylindrical shape allows the light to be distributed evenly through the small, perforated holes, while the brass shade creates an appealing visual effect. The shade is lacquered white from the inside, therefore the “dotted” shadow cast by the light becomes visible on it. The result is a warm, inviting glow with a playful twist. The lamp offers plenty even when switched off; the metal sheet together with the bright brass create a contrast that is fundamentally modern in its appearance. The white rope by which the lamp is suspended further add to the modernist aesthetic and emphasize the body. The brass shade can be removed freely, therefore Jakobsson is offering two lamps in one. The “T766” pendant lamp is a perfect example of the principles of Swedish modern design, which emphasized simplicity, functionality, and elegance. Hans-Agne Jakobsson was one of the most important designers of the Swedish modern movement. He was known for his innovative use of materials and forms. His designs stand out for their quality just as much as their visual attributes; like most of his designs, this lamp was made at his own manufactory in Markaryd, Sweden.
This lamp is truly a testament to the enduring appeal of Swedish modern design and to Hans-Agne Jakobsson's lasting legacy as one of the movement's most significant designers.
