Lamp
Its not normally my style but I quite like it. As far as date goes I would say 80s early 90s but thats as much as I know good luck. (and when you say massive.....)

I've seen these attributed to...
I've seen these attributed to E/LITE in Holland, made in the mid-eighties and referred to either as "zig-zag-lamps" or "z-lamps". Not that much information but it might be a start if you want to do further research.

to Arthur Sixpence
Thanks you SO much for your contribution.
Just a information "Massive" has nothing to do with the look of the lamp, it's the name of the dealer in Belgium : under the lamp you can read "Massive - Belgium"
Best.

Thanks for posting the lamp, have never seen anything like it, though it does look to be part of the rubics cube or tesseract influenced formal language of the 80's, it refreshing anyway, any other examples of this kind of design?
I read a book on Fermats last theorem a while ago and while much of the mathematics was beyond me the attempt at least when designers base work on ideas outside of the craft tradition can be really exciting, thats just another way of saying I'm really bored with the sobriety of Danish modern, it feels so staid, a year ago I thought Sotsass et al was just awful but now not so sure...

Sottsas
For me, Sottsas was always the most "predictive" designer, alway a "time before", when in began in the '50... He's one of the most interesting.
