JAKOBSSON LAMP 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 light casted through the pine wood shades is reminiscent of a bonfire. When illuminated, the thin wood casts a distinctly organic redish-orange filtered light that reveals the wood's fine grain and casts a warm and beautiful glow.

He founded his own company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, in 1951, and quickly became known for his simple yet elegant designs. His work often featured organic shapes and natural materials, such as wood and rattan. Jakobsson's lighting fixtures were popular among architects and designers, and were widely used in public spaces as well as private homes. His designs were also featured in several exhibitions, including the Milan Triennale and the International Design Conference in Aspen. Today, Jakobsson's pieces are highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts around the world.
