The Jakobsson collection brings out the full potential of ingredients of pine wood and has lighted up Scandinavian living for a long time as a representative of Swedish designer, Hans-Agne Jakobsson. The soft and gentle light cast through the shades is reminiscent of a lantern or a bonfire at dusk that gives people comfort during the night. It is made of thinly sliced pine wood that has been slowly and naturally dried for a long time. The pine, grown in the harsh cold environment of Europe, has a beautiful surface thanks to the slow annual growth rings. This Scandinavian masterpiece has been faithfully reproduced by Japanese craftsmanship. It is assembled by traditional Japanese craftsmen who work carefully throughout the process.
