Hans Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) was a Swedish interior and furniture designer known primarily for his lighting designs, which played with a diverse range of materials and forms. He began his career as a carpenter before working as an industrial designer at General Motors. He then became the assistant to designers Carl Malmsten and Werner West. In 1951, he established his own company ‘Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB’ in Markaryd, Sweden.

This pair of brass floor lamps represents a fine example of Hans-Agne Jakobsson’s refined lighting designs. Their sleek, minimalist profile adds a modern yet timeless touch when placed beside a sofa or lounge chair. Each lamp features a pivoting shade, allowing the light to be easily directed—ideal for reading or creating a warm, intimate ambiance.
