Acciarri
The switch on these floor lamps is made by the Italian company Acciarri. A small company that is long gone. However Acciarri also produced lamps. Sometimes you find one for sale on the internet. Most of the time it is an industrial architect desk lamp from the 70’s, as you can see below. Something completely different than these floor lamps.
Acciarri produced switches for companies such as Reggiani (Rome & Milan, Italy), but also for the Belgian Massive and many other companies. Acciarri is an Italian family name, mostly found on the east coast of the country. No information can be found about it.
Maybe these floor lamps were made by or produced for a company in The Netherlands. Often, when floor lamps like these shows up, it is in this country.
