Looks like the Loft floor lamp from Flos -- it's the modern-day incarnation of Jielde's industrial lamps.

Sorry -- my bad. Flos has nothing to do with it. But here's a link: http://www.voltexdesign.com/loft-floor-lamp-d9406-jielde-pid790.htm

I've sold many of those! Restoration Hardware Atelier lamp - definitely. If you can wait they have a lighting sale every fall.

It's definitely not the RH atelier lamp -- count the bends/zig-zags. If it's not a Jielde or a competent Jielde knock-off, I'll eat my head.

This is definitly a Jieldé lamp. It is a French company in Lyon that built this lamp since 1950. The lamp is called "Signal" and you can find new ones in diferent collections. Diferents colors or with chromium (in this case it's a "loft"). This lamp was made for machining machines in workshops. Normaly with 2 arms. The concept is everything can be dismanteled and you can had as much arms as you want. Things to check: the foot must be as you can see on Jieldé web site (http://www.jielde.com) because we find a lot of old lamps with a car or truck disk brake. And the brand is an oval aluminium plate poped up on the lamp head near the switch (or the swich place). New ones have a sticker, no more brand plate. You can find old ones, remove paint, brush it, put varnish (arm tube and haed are made of steel, junctions of aluminium).

For prices (in France): 2 arms around 250EUR, 3 arms around 350 to 400EUR, 4 arms around 650EUR, 5 arms 750EUR...
You can choose the way to fix it: on the wall, on the ceilling, with foot, on architects tables with a screw.
The best way is to find old ones in good and bad shapes and to assemble parts.

Jaime5 > in your link, a wrong or a false replica. The foot has nothing to deal with real ones, mobile joints are different (the one with the largest arm).

The lamp looks like it's crouching, there beside the chair.
