I am surprised there is not a Glass Ball Lamp option. They are so classic and chic.

I have Fado in a dark corner of my cube at work, and I get so many compliments on it. I see Fado a lot in the home pics on here, and am surprised it's not cited more as a staple of modern design for work & home.

I'm not a bedside table sort of person, so I use a standing floor lamp or Ikea's weeble wobble lamp, Jonsvik.

I have a fado but not as a bedside lamp. I don't think it would give good light to read. I prefer lamps where you can direct the light. I personally have two small Tolomeos and think they are great.

where do i find that nice shade with the bauhaus table lamp? on the website, it only comes in black and white.

OOPS i was looking at the wrong lamp. sorry.

I, too, have Fado in my cubicle at work. It is in the back corner, behind my monitor. Everyone loves it - especially me!

I covet the Noguchi from R&B, but don't forget to check out overstock.com.

These are fantastic. I also love the Seaside Lamp from Thumprints If you haven't seen it, you should. It is perfect for a bedside table.
