It doesn't really remind me of anything H-A Jakobsson would have designed. -It has more of of a 'memphis' style to it, but looks older and less complicated...

the only reason i said Jakobsen cause of the tallness of the lamp. The one i had was similar but had three rings on the lampshade and that was a style he did.
I am beginning to see the Memphis era,in this lamp but i read a interesting article that any thing from the 80's that someone can not identify they throw it in the Memphis period.
I am sure Ettore Sottass ,Marco Zanini,Daniel Weil,Shiro kuramata, George snowden, Michele De Lucchi, Aldo Cibic. and many more that my little pea brain can not think of would not agree.

Could the lamp be south american?
Thanks for your help so far.I looked into lorenzetti a little bit it seems the wiring is from Brasil.Was there a Brazilian that did stuff like this ,or is that wiring used elsewhere?Also; the lamp has a european style plug ,and I noticed it says Panam.Maybe this could be a clue.
