created as part of jakobsson's innovative outdoor lighting collection, the g98 transforms functional garden lighting into a sculptural object. Inspired by the elegant form of a flower bud, the lamp rises from a slender brass stem, allowing it to blend naturally among planting while providing warm, atmospheric illumination after dusk.

manufactured entirely from solid brass, the lamp has developed a beautiful natural patina that enhances its character while demonstrating the exceptional quality of swedish craftsmanship for which hans-agne jakobsson became internationally renowned. Designed for outdoor use, the g98 was intended to illuminate flower beds, pathways, terraces, and landscaped gardens, creating pools of soft, glare-free light rather than harsh direct illumination.

unlike many outdoor fittings of the period, jakobsson approached garden lighting with the same attention to proportion, material quality, and atmosphere that made his interior lighting famous. Today, original examples of the g98 are seldom encountered, making them highly sought after by collectors of scandinavian design.
