Vintage Design
A pair of floor-standing ashtrays, model C34 by Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in Markaryd, Sweden, dating back to the 1950s. These feature a black metal frame with dome-shaped copper ashtrays. Can also be used as planters or bowls. Swedish industrial designer Hans-Agne Jakobsson, born on the island of Gotland in 1919, began his career as a carpenter’s apprentice in his teenage years. Following his pursuit of architecture studies, he joined General Motors as a designer. In 1951, he established Hans-Agne Jakobsson AB in the quaint community of Markaryd. The factory is most renowned today for its mid-century lighting fixtures, though it also produced small furniture and various other interior design objects. The two ashtrays available for sale serve as remarkable examples of Jakobsson’s talent in merging craftsmanship and industrial production to craft minimalistic and timeless objects.
