Just picked this up today because I swear I have seen this design before but can't quite place it. Does anyone recognize the Designer or maker?
It is made of 1" tubular brass and has a halogen light bulb. (I'm guessing 1980's?)
The base is heavy metal. No makers marks whatsoever. The arms articulate so the light is able to adjust in many ways.
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe Italian. Looks a lot like Mario Arnaboldi "Mira" lamp

Thanks Charlie! The lamps definitely do look similar. After doing some research based on your info, I found that the "MIRA" lamp was only in production for one year. I am thinking the one I have may be a knock off from the same early 80s period. The MIRA lamp had an on/off switch integrated into the base of the lamp. The one I have has a round disk foot switch on cord.
The brass tube articulating mechanisms look nearly identical on mine...but the base is a bit off.
Thanks for your response.

I like your lamp a lot.
"MIRA" lamp was indeed in production for only a year or so and that is what makes your lamp interesting. It may be some kind of prototype
It might be a good idea to try to contact Mario Arnaboldi through his firm Arnaboldi & Partners:

(you never know ...)

You are correct. One Never knows! If nothing else, the will become aware that someone was copying his design. 😉
I sent some photos off to their studio. I will let you know if I get a response.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
