No labels or whatsoever on this pendant lamp. Very strange for a lamp with a socket that was first produced in the late 1980’s. These type of plastic sockets were still in production in the 2000’s. Maybe it is a lamp by IKEA, but a search in old catalogues of the company did not gave any result. Kartell from Italy is a famous plastic furniture and lamp producer, but no Kartell lamp is known like this. Massive from Belgium is also a possibility.
