The lamp features a conical base made of painted wood, supporting an opal glass shade. The base is adorned with a hand-painted geometric pattern of triangles and circles. It is equipped with a standard E14 lamp holder and a light switch on the cord. The Hans-Agne Jakobsson paper label remains inside the base. Swedish industrial designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson, born on the island of Gotland in 1919, began his career as a carpenter's apprentice in his teenage years. Following his pursuit of architecture studies, he joined General Motors as a designer. In 1951, he established Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in the quaint community of Markaryd. The factory is most renowned today for its mid-century lighting fixtures, though it also produced small furniture and various other interior design objects. The two ashtrays available for sale serve as remarkable examples of Jakobsson's talent in merging craftsmanship and industrial production to craft minimalistic and timeless objects.
