Pine vintage wall light V 237 by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for Ellysett AB. Sweden, 1960s

Wall lightsconce V 237 "Kronljuslampa" by Hans-Agne Jakobsson. This is a very delicate lamp for wall mount. It was created in 1965 and only in production for a few years. The same type came as a table lamp as well. Very good condition for being 55 years old since these pine lights are very fragile. Only one little damage as seen in one photo. Very even and straight rings. Standard E14 light bulb. Hans-Agne Jacobsen invented the laminated pine fixtures by accident during a Christmas decorations in the Markaryd store . He wanted to soften a couple of dazzling light bulbs, had some laminated pine around and rapidly put together some temporary fixtures. A customer came in and wanted to buy the arrangement and Hans -Agne Jakobsson found himself with an article that was unprecedented. Laminated pine fixtures became an export success that was sold in virtually every corner of the world. Hans-Agne Jakobsson was undeniably one of the world’s most versatile and productive lighting designers and manufacturers in the fifties, sixties and seventies. He was also one of the best and most important designers in the Scandinavian era of golden and soft non-dazzle light. His earlier designs follow Scandinavian giants such as Poul Henningsen, Paavo Tynell and Alvar Aalto and he should be seen as important as the concurrent world renowned Nordic lighting designers Greta Magnusson-Grossman, Lisa Johansson-Pape, Verner Panton and Jo Hammerborg.
