SUMMARY
The lamp in question is identified as a polyhedron, specifically a pentagonal hexecontahedron, which is classified as one of the Catalan solids. Participants in the discussion emphasized the importance of providing numerical information such as the number of faces, edges, and vertices to accurately determine the shape. A helpful resource was shared, directing users to an interactive animator on the Math is Fun website, which aids in visualizing polyhedra.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of polyhedra and their properties
- Familiarity with the concepts of faces, edges, and vertices
- Basic knowledge of Catalan solids
- Experience with interactive geometry tools
- Explore the properties of polyhedra using the Math is Fun interactive animator
- Research the characteristics of Catalan solids, focusing on the pentagonal hexecontahedron
- Learn about the classification of polyhedra and their geometric properties
- Investigate other types of polyhedra and their applications in design and architecture
Students, educators, and geometry enthusiasts interested in understanding polyhedra and their classifications, particularly those focusing on visual and interactive learning methods.

Obviously, but which kind? Maybe the OP can start by giving some numerical information like number of faces, edges and vertices. And perhaps get a close up of one of the faces. It doesn't look like a regular polygon to me.

Haha, true!
I did some basic research, and it's probably this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_hexecontahedron It is one of the Catalan solids.
