Hi All,

I bought a pair of these lights last week and wondered if anybody knows the maker or designer?
They're pretty decent quality but have no makers marks or labels anywhere.

Avoid.
That lampshade is a giant dustcatcher. It will always look grimy no matter how often you clean it.

Try Temde
Try Temde; they were a German/Swiss light manufacturer in the 60's and 70's. While I have not seen this particular lamp before, I have seen others with the same exact type of fabric on the shade, same cone, pegged wood joints, same looking plastic diffuser etc.
An example of a different design with many similar features:

That's terrific mafbail, thank you very much indeed 🙂
Riki, I'm not averse to flicking a feather duster around once a week!
Thanks a lot guys.
Best,
Ron
