Selectra C 769/6

The Selectra C 769/6 is a striking ceiling lamp designed by Hans-Agne Jakobsson during the 1960s and 1970s for his company in Markaryd, Sweden. This specific model features six light sources housed within a sophisticated arrangement of lacquered metal shades—typically in white or a combination of white and black—mounted on a grounded brass frame. Its architectural design is characterized by a rhythmic, tiered geometry of rectangular modules that creates a "pixelated" effect while ensuring a calming, indirect diffusion of light by concealing the bulbs. Measuring approximately 64 cm in length and 42 cm in width, the C 769/6 remains a highly sought-after example of Scandinavian Modern lighting
