Hans-Agne Jakobsson V-155 wall lamp in brass, Sweden, 1960s.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson V-155 wall lamp in brass, Sweden, 1960s. An atmospheric and sculptural V-155 wall lamp designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson and produced in Sweden in the 1960s. The lamp consists of a series of horizontally stacked brass bands around a cylindrical core, creating a refined architectural shape that is both minimal and highly expressive. Once lit, the concealed light source produces a warm, diffuse glow that subtly radiates between the brass elements, generating the characteristic atmospheric lighting effect for which Jakobsson's creations have become internationally celebrated. The carefully spaced brass rings serve both as structure and lampshade, softening the light and directing it outward in gentle horizontal bands. This layered construction reflects Jakobsson's distinctive approach to lighting design, where the control of light and shadow becomes an integral part of the sculptural composition. The brushed brass surface has a soft satin sheen and has developed a beautiful natural patina over time, enhancing the depth and warmth of the material. This example remains in very good condition, consistent with its age and use. The lamp produces a particularly warm and atmospheric light effect when lit. Dimensions. Width: 17.5 cm. Height: 28 cm.
