This 1960s B-243 table lamp is a rare design by Hans-Agne Jakobsson for AB Ellysett, Sweden. Its solid wooden cylindrical base supports a natural sisal shade, exemplifying the clean lines and elegant materiality that define Jakobsson’s work. The lamp is a true mid-century icon, combining functional lighting with sculptural presence. When illuminated, the sisal shade creates a soft, circular glow that fills the room with warmth and atmosphere. The contrast between the organic texture of the shade and the smooth wooden base showcases Jakobsson’s attention to detail and his masterful use of light. This model is extremely rare, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors and design enthusiasts. In wonderful vintage condition, the lamp shows only a minor scratch on the wooden base, preserving its authenticity and charm. With only one example currently available, it is an exceptional opportunity to own a true mid-century masterpiece that functions as both lighting and sculptural art.
