Hans-Agne Jakobsson 'Tratten' Wall Lights in Patinated Copper

Hans-Agne Jakobsson designed this wall light 'Tratten', which is crafted from green copper. The conical-shaped shade is secured to a slightly curved mounting arm. Over time, the copper has acquired patina, enhancing its genuine appearance. He worked during the Golden Age of Scandinavian design and his oeuvre ranged from furniture, lighting, and various everyday objects. Jakobsson is best remembered for his softly glowing, glare-free lighting fixtures, which were inspired by the "organic modern" approaches of Danish lighting master Poul Henningsen (1894-1967) and Finnish icon Alvar Aalto (1898-1976). Jakobsson created a diversity of pendants, floor lamps, wall lamps, and table lamps that showcase a penchant for diverse materials and forms, as well as a deep understanding of lighting effects. Patina may vary from piece to piece.
