Each sconce is composed of three slender arms in warm polished brass, gently unfolding from a circular wall backplate like a quiet musical phrase suspended in space. The light sources are enclosed within tall cylindrical clear glass shades, creating a soft, atmospheric glow that feels both precise and dreamlike. When illuminated, the lamps reveal jakobsson’s signature sensitivity to light: the bulbs appear to float inside the glass, diffusing a warm, intimate radiance that animates the surrounding wall without glare. The composition is perfectly balanced — architectural yet lyrical — a hallmark of scandinavian lighting design at its most refined.

the brass surfaces retain a beautiful original patina, with subtle signs of age that enhance their depth and character. The glass cylinders are thick and well-proportioned, contributing to the lamps’ elegant verticality and timeless presence. Completely original condition. Rewiring is recommended to meet current standards. A rare and evocative pair, equally suited to a refined residential interior or a carefully curated architectural project.
