Hans-Agne Jakobsson

The Swedish lighting designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) was born on Gotland, completed a cabinetmaking apprenticeship and then graduated in architecture in Gothenburg. After positions at General Motors and in collaboration with the designers Carl Malmsten and Werner West, he founded his own company Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in 1951, which moved to Markaryd in Småland in 1956. Characteristic of his wall, table and ceiling lamps are brass and teak, often combined with glass shades from regional glassworks, as well as a soft, widely diffused light and carefully designed details. Through the subsidiary Ellysett he also launched lamps made of chipboard from 1957. His designs were exported to Germany, France and Canada, among other countries.
