retro lamp identification  

jonnym,
I can't tell you without a doubt who the designer is, but I have seen the same electrical cording on lamps made by Reggiani Lighting, Italy.
Hopefully this heads you in the right direction.

hi designaddict,
i have searched extensively for information on this product but even with your identification, i can't find anything online ... i'd love to add this item to your atlas. how does it work ? if i take some decent pictures and add with the Mazda Group attribution you provided would you be able to provide additional info ?
thanks in advance,
jon

Hi jon,
We have two of these lamps in our collection, one white and one yellow. We were able to identify them from an advertisement seen in a French magazine of the 60s/70s. I can’t get hold of it for the moment unfortunately. The lamp is already included in the Atlas with the little information we have. But the picture is bad and very small.

If you want to add a better picture. Just click on "add a contribution" under the detail of the object.
To add documents on objects that are not yet included in the Atlas, you can do it from here.

hi patrick,
thanks for the info. i'll take some pics and add specs for the piece (diameter, etc.). hopefully that will help in the future. having said that, nothing came up when i googled the piece so i'll try adding keywords to see if that helps ! thanks again for your help and i'll be sure to add to the atlas as and when i can!
cheers,
jon
