Model B-119/1 Pine Veneer Conical Table Lamp By Hans-Agne Jakobsson For Ab Markaryd, Sweden 1960S

Model b-119/1 pine veneer table lamp by hans-agne jakobsson, sweden (1960s) this beautiful pine veneer table lamp is an authentic work by hans-agne jakobsson (1919–2009), one of sweden’s most celebrated lighting designers. Trained as a carpenter and architect, jakobsson developed a distinctive ability to sculpt light through natural materials — creating warm, atmospheric pieces that have become icons of scandinavian mid-century modernism. The lamp features a shade crafted from thin strips of pine veneer, meticulously arranged to filter light in a soft, even glow. When lit, the grain and warm tones of the wood come alive, casting a calm and inviting ambience. Each shade was handmade, making every piece slightly unique in shape and tone. The design combines elegant simplicity with material honesty — the natural beauty of the pine taking center stage against a minimal, functional base. As with many of jakobsson’s creations, the lamp blends functional design with a poetic understanding of light and shadow. In very good vintage condition, showing minimal signs of wear consistent with age and material, this lamp remains a wonderful example of hans-agne jakobsson’s masterful approach to lighting design. A timeless and highly collectible piece of scandinavian craft and design history.
