design
this particular dome-shaped pendant, produced by ab markaryd, features a stacked, tiered brass shade that diffuses light through thin horizontal slits, casting a soft ambient glow. The layered construction isn’t purely aesthetic—it carefully controls the direction of the light, reducing glare and emphasizing warmth. From above, the golden interior reflects a mellow brightness, while the direct light below remains functional. The black cord adds contrast, giving the piece a clear visual anchor. A subtle yet intentional detail, the brass ceiling cap completes the design and ensures continuity from ceiling to lamp. On the inner rim, the label confirms its authenticity: “hans-agne jakobsson ab markaryd – made in sweden.”

a quietly confident design, the lamp embodies jakobsson’s ability to soften metal and shape light. It works just as well switched on or off, offering presence without overstatement.
