Hello, Im strugling to make this kind of lamp. I know that

Just think how the topology could look like , then make the first part of the lamp thatyou can see and interpretate the other half of it that isnt visible, same for the other part

I really tryed my best efforts to do it, but I faild, this is somehow too complex for me.

I will really apriciate someone giving me more tips on this.

why not use curve path?

This is what your lamp looks like from above/below.

As far as I can understand, you just need to create five identical pieces with up/down symmetry.

Elaborate?

Probably something like this. Just clone x5 and rotate around the middle point

Tried it myself out of curiosity. If I knew how to spline this would be easy.

So this... is the power... of /3/

aren't those 2 terminating edges 144 degrees apart?
Create those 2 edges, spline bridge them,group the result, instance duplicate the result 5 times and rotate at 72 degree increments. Then manually tweak the spline shape and start/end edges to the position you want.
I'll give this ago tomorrow when i'm not tired as fuck.

I've never made a lamp like that, but I would start by fist experimenting with deforming planes and twisting them around. Then depending on results either experiment more or utilize what you learned into making a lamp.
Assuming the lamp is symmetrical then it's just a matter of mirroring and adjustments.
