Hans-Agne was a celebrated Swedish designer whose work throughout the mid to late 20th century became synonymous with poetic lighting and organic forms. Trained as a cabinetmaker and later as an industrial designer, Jakobsson brought a masterful understanding of material and form to his pieces. His lighting designs for Markaryd were especially renowned for their ability to create warm, diffused atmospheres and to treat light as a sculptural element rather than a purely functional one.
The Model G-192 floor lamp embodies these ideas beautifully. This elegant floor lamp features a slender brass stem that rises from a round, weighted base, offering both stability and visual grounding. The brass arm extends horizontally from the stem in a geometric fashion, introducing a subtle rhythm and sense of movement to the silhouette. At its end sits an empire fabric shade that emits a soft, warm glow, perfectly diffusing the light to create an inviting environment. The exposed cord runs along the stem in a natural, relaxed way, making this piece feel even more approachable. The lamp’s minimal yet expressive composition, utilising brass, a metal quintessential in 20th century lighting design, highlights Jakobsson’s talent for transforming simple geometric lines into something unique and engaging. Its adjustable arm and shade make it versatile as a reading light or accent lamp, adaptable to various interior needs.
Jakobsson designs’ unique quality lies in effortlessly infusing Scandinavian simplicity with a touch of innovation, resulting in pieces like this pair that transcend time. As both a sculptural object and a functional light source, this floor lamp showcases the enduring legacy of Jakobsson’s approach to lighting design.
