Hans Agne Jakobsson Floor Lamp Model 3174 Markaryd

Swedish floor lamp with fluted wooden shaft, brass base and fabric shade, Scandinavian Modern

Highlights:

Designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson, model 3174 Made in Markaryd, Sweden Fluted wooden shaft with brass elements Round base in brushed brass Round fabric shade with white interior Soft, glare-free light Description: This slender floor lamp is model 3174 by Hans-Agne Jakobsson, made in Markaryd, Sweden. The shaft is built from grooved wooden slats that contrast warmly with the brass elements: the round, brushed base, the collar where the shaft begins, and the brass tube with its top disc above the wood. On top sits a round drum shade in natural-coloured fabric, white inside. Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919-2009) founded the company Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd in 1951. He became known for lamps that spread soft, glare-free light. He worked mainly with wood, brass, glass and fabric. The reduced form of model 3174, with its clear vertical line, stands for postwar Scandinavian Modern design. It suits a living room, reading chair, sideboard or hallway, and works alone as well as in a pair. Condition: Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age. The brass base shows a few small spots and marks. The brass tube above the wooden shaft carries an age patina.
