The dark, richly patinated exteriors contrast beautifully with the warm golden surfaces beneath. Parallel metal louvres screen the bulbs and direct the light downwards, creating a soft glow across the wall. The repeated horizontal lines lend depth to the simple geometric form, making the lights equally effective individually or arranged in a series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Swedish interior and furniture designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) was born in Hvadhem, a small village located in the province Gotland, Sweden, in 1919. Jakobsson obtained an apprenticeship as a carpenter before completing an architectural study in Gothenburg. He made his entrance as an industrial designer at General Motors and subsequently started assisting furniture designers Carl Malmsten (1888-1972) and Werner West (1890-1959). In 1951, he established his own company ‘Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB’ in Markaryd, Sweden. He worked during the Golden Age of Scandinavian design and his oeuvre ranged from furniture, lighting, and various everyday objects. Jakobsson is best remembered for his softly glowing, glare-free lighting fixtures, which were inspired by the \"organic modern\" approaches of Danish lighting master Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) and Finnish icon Alvar Aalto (1898-1976). Jakobsson created a diversity of pendants, floor lamps, wall lamps, and table lamps that showcase a penchant for diverse materials and forms, as well as a deep understanding of lighting effects. Throughout his career, Jakobsson carried out commissions for private homes as well as public buildings. In 2009, Hans-Agne Jakobsson passed away in Markaryd, leaving a long-lasting mark in the field of lighting design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKindly note that the price listed is per item.","brand":"Morentz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55559196377431,"sku":null,"price":7600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5187\/1548\/files\/50119821_St_P_3.jpg?v=1792765218","url":"https:\/\/www.morentz.com\/products\/hans-agne-jakobsson-v236-wall-lights-in-copper","provider":"Morentz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
