Jakobsson Lamp Large Pine Table Lamp by Yamagiwa

Jakobsson Lamp Large Pine Table Lamp by Yamagiwa — It is a lamp that looks as good unlit as lit: a warm, sculptural stack of wood on the table.

Designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson in the 1960s and made in Japan by Yamagiwa.

The Design Story

The Jakobsson Lamp is a Scandinavian masterpiece from the 1960s, reproduced today by Yamagiwa in Japan. Craftspeople assemble each one by hand, and the result is a light that Yamagiwa compares to a bonfire at dusk: the kind of gentle glow that has made the lamp a fixture of wooden, relaxed interiors for decades.

Why You’ll Love It

It is a lamp that looks as good unlit as lit: a warm, sculptural stack of wood on the table. Switched on, it fills the room with a low amber glow instead of a white glare. The grain of every lamp is a little different, so yours is unique. And because pine deepens with age, it grows richer the longer you live with it.

Made for Real Life

Give it a dry room (no bathrooms or steamy spaces), a steady, level spot and some clearance from anything flammable. We suggest a soft, dry brush once the lamp has cooled, with no water or sprays on the wood. Complete the look with Jakobsson Large Pendant, Jakobsson Small Table Lamp, Jakobsson Floor Lamp.

Questions We Hear Most

What kind of light does the Jakobsson Large Table Lamp give off?

A warm, reddish-orange glow filtered through thin pine that shows the wood’s fine grain, closer to a lantern than to a reading lamp.

Who is the designer behind the Jakobsson Large Table Lamp?

Hans-Agne Jakobsson (born 1919) was a Swedish lighting designer who started out as a carpenter and founded his own company in 1951; his lamps in wood and natural materials became mid-century classics.

Will my Jakobsson Large Table Lamp match the photos exactly?

Not exactly: Yamagiwa notes that natural pine varies in grain and color from lamp to lamp, and the wood deepens in tone over time.

Where does the Jakobsson Large Table Lamp work best?

Indoors only (IP20), on a sideboard in the dining room, a console in the hall or a side table beside the sofa. Keep it out of bathrooms and humid spaces.

What pairs well with the Jakobsson Large Table Lamp?

Other pieces from the same series: Jakobsson Large Pendant, Jakobsson Small Table Lamp, Jakobsson Floor Lamp.

When will my Jakobsson Large Table Lamp arrive?

Why We Love It

Few designs explain Scandinavian warmth as simply as a Jakobsson Lamp: wood, light and nothing else. Since 1923 the Tokyo company has built lighting together with architects and designers, and today it is the hands behind both the Jakobsson Lamp and the Mayuhana collection.
