Hi
I was in a teak fury and bought several lights
- a pair of sconces (make creepy hanging shadows when plugged on the power)
- a boomerang ceiling light
- a wall light (the third one is plywood, the first two are made of solid wood)
Any idea of the makers ?
I've stumbled across several references.
Some says Philips
Some just claims "Rispal influence"
Anyway they'll look gorgeous in my flat.

thanks Jim, well...
...I paid them about the double than that (but I've also seen the same models 5X more pricey).
Seen other auctions on the boomerang model, and some actually wear the Philips label on them (though mine does not carry it).
Also the reason i thought of Philips is that brand has always been widely braodcasted on french market (where I live).
And also, the teak turned socket handler seemed very standard by that time, and hence, mass producted. (Seen the exact replica on other lighting models of that era)
Thanks, and cheers Jim

well
many thanks for looking into your archive catalogues.
Looking in the radar list, some have similar features (Holm Sorensen, Kastrup...) but no exact match.
To be continued...
cheers
