Thoughts on cool Italian lamps w/EOGGETTI tag?

    I got these from my friend's 2nd hand furniture store for $20 each. A couple of questions:
    Only 1 has a dimmer switch on the cord; the other is just on or off
    They have a small tag on the bottom that made me buy them because I thought it said Oggetti; which are expensive Italian lamps, but when I got home (and got my better glasses!) I saw it said EOGGETTI? Are these a knock off/copy?
    Also, the dimmer switch is a cool triangle shaped piece marked Milano, Italy on the back, which may be why I didn't look closer at tag under lamp(!)
    Any thoughts on them would be appreciated - do I just call them; "Modern"? (they are modern; even with halogen bulbs, but that doesn't get across the cool factor/look of them!
    Thank you!

    Wear gloves when changing the lightbulb.
    The oil from your fingertips can damage it.
    I like the look of 'em, but not the bulbs..

    Could be the tag reads "Luce Oggetti." But I'm confused. There's a furniture & lighting import company in Miami named Oggetti and there's a furniture store in Bologna named Oggetti s.r.l. (s.r.l. being a form of legal entity in Italy.) I'd assume that means your lamp is from the latter?

    Do the numbers mean the date? July 20, 2000.

    I believe the numbers are the date of 2000.

    Yes, I would agree date of July 20, 2000 in a European hand.

    Luce Oggetti is a lighting line started by the owners of the Miami store Debora mentioned. I think the tag indicates these lamps were purchased from the Oggetti s.r.l. store in Bologna and dated July 2000. Maybe look a little harder for a manufacturer tag.

    My first thought was ... a pair of portable toilet paper dispensers. Don’t put them on the floor too close to a toilet .. or someone is going to get a shock .. of the electrical kind!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    That's what I thought, too. :)
