Fringe table lamp, cream white
Description
Warm Nordic’s Fringe table lamp is an iconic piece of Nordic design from the 1960s, designed by Swedish Hans-Agne Jakobsson. For a long time the elegant luminaire was only obtainable at auctions, until Warm Nordic decided to relaunch it, making it once again available to all design fans.
The Fringe table lamp’s graceful look is created with the union of polished brass and delicate cream-coloured fringes that filter light softly, creating a pleasant, warm atmosphere in the room. Fringe beautifully complements romantic interiors furnished with antique mirrors and sumptuous drapes, but the tactile design will also fit a more modern setting, adding an elegant yet playful touch to the decor on the windowsill or night stand.

Hans-Agne Jakobsson (1919–2009) was a Swedish interior and furniture designer, who ran his own company since 1951. Jakobsson was especially famous for his lighting designs, which often had a softly glowing light and organic shape. His designs were inspired by great, modern Scandinavian designers such as the Finnish icon Alvar Aalto and Danish lighting master Poul Henningsen.
Hans-Agne Jakobsson – a pioneer of Swedish lighting design
Hans-Agne Jakobsson was a Swedish interior architect and furniture designer, best known for his modern lighting creations from the 1950s and 1960s. A strong foundation in craftsmanship shaped his distinctive and enduring design language.
Career and international breakthrough
Jakobsson qualified as a master carpenter at just 18 and later studied architecture in Gothenburg. He worked as an industrial designer for General Motors before founding his own company, Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB, in Småland in 1951. The company’s move to the centre of Markaryd in 1956 helped accelerate its international success.
The brass lamps produced by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB became some of the company’s most iconic pieces, while his glass and wooden designs also gained widespread popularity. The glass shades were mouth-blown in Småland’s glassworks, and the products were exported not only across the Nordic countries but around the world.
A philosophy of light
Jakobsson’s lighting is defined by its generous yet softly diffused glow, creating a calm, glare-free atmosphere. Every detail mattered to him – he once noted that “every part of a lamp should spark the designer’s interest”.
Today, Jakobsson’s designs can be found in the collections of Sweden’s Örsjö, Denmark’s Warm Nordic and Finland’s Vaarnii.
