Whoa. This is a stupendous (albeit expensive) floor lamp.

"Naughty, as in pine, makes each lamp an individual work of art. Sundayland starts out with the highest quality of California grown knotty pine available, hand turning the base and stem, naturally bringing out the character and sheen of the wood. For the shade, pine is taken to a whole new level, near transparent, then backed with an invisible polyurethane. Light glows through the grain of the wood, knots and all, illuminating any environment."

Dimensions: 5'9" Height

This looks like a good choice for adding just the right amount of ambient light to a room.

'Translated as "bowl" in Japanese, the Wan delicately holds its light in a beautifully curved shell. Encased in its walls are sand-like iron particles, allowing you to direct the angle of light by simply shifting the weight of the bowl. More lovely than its shape however is its glow, as its thick rim softens the contours of the light to a subtle, diffused hue.'

Materials: Polycarbonate, Aluminum
Available in silver or white with a choice of flood or narrow light distribution.
13" dia. x 8"H

This collection of Honey Lamps is on sale (almost half off).

'This is a system of light elements built around diffused light, designed on a modular transparent structure, of theoretically unlimited extension, like "Brancusi's Endless" column. The texture of the triangular components, in a honey comb structure and micro-prismatic, directs the distribution of the light flow through the interior of the structure. The system is composed of three basic components, assembled together in a clip-on process (the elements are a triangle as diffuser, a square as frame and a crown as the cover) as well as the rod iron legs for the base. The assembly operations, which are extremely simple and require no additional tools, are left to the user. By using the components available in the system, it is possible within the required dimensions, to choose from several lamp alternatives.'

While these two floor lamps are quite similar in idea, they are entirely different in how the design is actually executed. For those on a budget, the Bauhaus (shown at top) will make do just fine, and the extra bells and whistles that the Twiggy (at bottom) sports is not quite worth the extra $1800. But, those of you that appreciate the finer things, the Twiggy is impressive in quality and detail- take a look at its credentials and see which one might fit you best.

Bauhaus Arc Floor Lamp:
"Arc de triomphe in top to bottom all metal, all white. Pedestal iron base rises off-center, then swoops to high light over seating, bed, dining. Shade is a major surprise in smooth aluminum; exposed butterfly nut (white [or olivine] of course) pivots shade to direct the beam. On/off foot switch."

59"Wx15.25"Dx80"H, $199.00, Buy it here.

Twiggy Floor Lamp:
"The Twiggy is characterized by a thin, elegant and sophisticated design. Flexibility is the word for Twiggy; flexibility of the material which defines the ample and essential curve of the arm that carries the light source far from the base, in the possibility of adjusting the height of the shade thanks to a system of counterweights, and in the possibility of adjusting the length of the arm with a set of extensions (sold separately)."

Twiggy is available in four color choices: red, black, white or yellow. Made from a compound material with a fiberglass base. Bottom diffuser shields direct view of lamps.

Dimensions 67"L X 77" - 85"H; 18"D shade, $2,022.00, Buy it here.

An amusing way to tackle the cord issue: embrace it.

"from a snake nest of winding cords, this lamp shoots straight up and stands tall on its own. surprising the eye by challenging the unexpected, the cord lamp is simple, yet characteristic. the cord, one of the most disturbing decorating details, has been made useful. materials include a standard bulb, textile cord, and a steel tube."

51.2" tall, blub included.

Here's a cool little table (or floor) lamp. I like how the silver laminate and the exposed edges play with the traditional idea of a lamp silhouette.
