Studio D.A.
It is always said that this lamp is a design by Studio D.A., but it is not. Studio D.A. did design lamps for Lamperti, but not this lamp.
Lamperti
Lamperti was an Italian lighting company active from the 1960s through the 1990s, based in Robbiate, near Como, Italy. The company became known for its innovative and sculptural lighting designs that reflected the aesthetics of modernism and Space Age design.
Founded in 1948, Lamperti specialized in lighting that balanced functionality with artistic expression. It collaborated with prominent designers such as Cesare Maria Casati and Carlo Emanuele Ponzio of Studio D.A., as well as Max Baguara, Salvatore Gregorietti, Giovanni Grignani, and Theodor Neumaier.
One of Lamperti’s most recognized creations is the Pelota table lamp, designed in 1968 by Studio D.A. Other notable designs include the Laser floor lamps by Max Baguara from the 1980s and the Diedron floor lamp by Giovanni Grignani.
Another Lamperti
An American company with the name Lamperti Associates exists. It was founded in 1965 by Al Lamperti and is located in San Rafael, California. They are furniture makers and the company is still active. It got nothing to do with the Italian company.
Lamperti Flower Table Lamp – Metal Version
A metal version of this lamp exists, as you can see. It was made in France, probably in the 1920s. The design is attributed to André Salomon (1891-1970). But whether this is actually true, I have no idea. Little is known about him, except for three different dates of death and a short biography.
