The lamps feature cylindrical brass bases that house the fuel reservoirs, each topped with a delicately perforated brass burner that showcases fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. A notable aspect of these lamps is their rare purple glass shades, which are slightly translucent and allow for a gentle diffusion of light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The clear glass chimneys extend the vertical lines of the design, ensuring proper airflow and optimal combustion while contributing to the lamps’ elegant silhouette. Jakobsson’s design philosophy, focused on producing lighting that balances functionality with aesthetic warmth, is clearly evident in these pieces. Their combination of quality materials, subtle color, and timeless form highlights the enduring appeal of mid-century scandinavian design, making this pair highly collectible and distinctive within jakobsson’s body of work.
