Jakobsson Lamp Small Pine Table Lamp by Yamagiwa

Jakobsson Lamp Small Pine Table Lamp by Yamagiwa — It brings the full Jakobsson glow to the smallest surfaces.

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

The Design Story

Hans-Agne Jakobsson turned thin slices of pine into lamps that became symbols of Scandinavian living. This small table version keeps every detail of the design at a nightstand scale. Yamagiwa makes it in Japan today, where the lamp is assembled by hand by traditional craftspeople.

Why You’ll Love It

It brings the full Jakobsson glow to the smallest surfaces. The light is gentle and warm, perfect for winding down at night. The pine grain is visible whether the lamp is on or off, so it always reads as a natural object. As the wood ages its color deepens, giving the lamp a patina you earn over time.

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 Large Table Lamp, Jakobsson Floor Lamp.

Questions We Hear Most

What kind of light does the Jakobsson Small 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 Small 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 Small 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 Small Table Lamp work best?

Indoors only (IP20), on a nightstand, a bookshelf, a window sill or a small reading table. Keep it out of bathrooms and humid spaces.

What pairs well with the Jakobsson Small Table Lamp?

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

When will my Jakobsson Small Table Lamp arrive?

It leaves our warehouse within 2–3 business days of your order.

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.
