This table lamp was often copied. You can find many similar lamps, but all a little different. A copy by the Belgian company Massive can be found here on Vintageinfo.

An elongated version of this table lamp was designed by A. Montagna Grillo & A. Tonello, and made by High Society. It is often confused with this one.

Always said that these lamps are a design by Maria Pergay, because they appear in the book Maria Pergay – Complete Works 1957-2010 – page 93, a book written by Suzanne Demisch. These table lamps were used in the villas of Prince Abdullah in Taif, Saudi Arabia. Hence the confusion.
