Equally as unaffordable as yesterday's. I guess a girl can dream.

@care_bear: precisely what I was thinking.

@care_bear - agreed. Maybe something the average person can afford. Although #3 would be easy enough to reproduce. Paint a couple of blocks of wood, get something like this http://www.amazon.com/Hanging-Lantern-Cord-Off-Switch/dp/B004BG1DYG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1363204034&sr=8-3&keywords=light+cord+kit and voila!

Okaaay, can we dial this back a little? First of all, it doesn't take that much effort to find a variety of price points. $100 should not be your minimum.

$50 - http://www.lampsplus.com/products/chrome-paddle-foot-plug-in-halogen-wall-light__u4279.html

$90 - http://www.lampsplus.com/products/halogen-gooseneck-brushed-steel-plug-in-wall-lamp__13748.html

Agreed -- again with the outrageous prices. Lesson not learned from yesterday.

This thing is still expensive, but it's half the price of #3 and looks the same:

And here's 2 for $140, very similar:

So it's not as though it's impossible to find prices that are actually do-able for people on a budget, as most here are.

All except the last two are way over priced. #3 is especially so, considering its just two lengths of oak 2x2 with simple doweled joinery. I could (and I may do so) make one in my shop for about $30, with the most expensive parts being the fabric covered cord, the socket and bulb. Personally, I like the wall lamp that used an Ikea shelf bracket in the same fashion.

#3 could be DIYed sooooo easily...

Yes these are on the expensive side, and I can't go buy one right now either, but I know if I really want one, I can save my pennies and go buy one when I can.

Nothing needs to be gotten right now, in this gotta have it instantly world we seem to be living in.

That said, I would pay that price if need be for #6 precisely because it is the REAL DEAL, even though a reproduction, but it is the actual George Nelson design, as originally made, and I'd for for #1, and #2, though for any of them, if you ARE creative about it, you can find them for less, how much less, it all depends on where and how you go about it.

That is how I look at it.

Though to be fair, there are a lot of things I would not even bother spending my hard earned money on but there will be items I would consider, if I could.

Besides, Some of us are willing to do whatever it takes to better ourselves, even if means spending a good bit of our money, go into short term debt to get the tools needed to achieve our goals for a better life.

onefortythree has some great, and reasonably affordable options!: http://shop.onefortythree.com

Maybe instead of showing the most unaffordable products Apartment Therapy could do a "Splurge/Steal" showcase. I can't afford any of these but would love to have one.

I would never pay that for those lamps.

@ciddyguy - your logic applies, but not to small wall-mounted "reading lamps." If you see a statement piece like a big bed, reclaimed wood dining table, or the perrrrrfect leather couch, then yes you will save and feel good about your splurge. But for a lamp that, as another user described, is a couple pieces of wood and a lightbulb? I don't want to speak for everyone but I think we're just asking for some editing to go on here - just because you find a modern wall lamp doesn't mean it deserves to make it into the post. Price, style, design and materials should all come into consideration. A little variety is key!

I'm a little surprised that people are so aghast at the prices. Especially when the price range is so broad. Nice things are expensive.

I've been in love with the Serge Mouille fixture since the first time I saw it in person. It has a grace and delicacy that cheap knock offs can't come close to. I couldn't afford it then and I would struggle to buy it now, but if I saved $20 a week for the next year and a half, I could buy it and it would be a short time to wait for something that I would have for the rest of my life.

I think Jason Loper did a great job of showing a range of options, some easily attainable, some aspirational. If AT only showed things I could afford it would be a pretty boring site.

Amusing how the IKEA one was thrown in at the end. I'm willing to pay higher prices for good quality items, but I can't imagine how the materials or time involved in manufacturing these lamps could justify the price and I dislike paying for a "name".

These Serge Mouille lamps are beautiful, but the prices are just stupid for mass produced reproductions. The reproduction floor lamp retails for $7,300 at DWR and are stamped and numbered if that matters to you. Or a $575 version at Organic Modernism (In person, the cheaper one actually looks like it's made of better materials.) http://www.organicmodernism.com/index.php?p=127 . I'd love to find a comparably priced ceiling or wall lamp.

At $575, the Nova 1 reading light is pricy, but looks worth-it in person. That would be the one I'd splurge on.

If I wanted the Bracket Lamp (#3,) I'd just miter and paint the wood myself for a couple bucks. Twisted fabric cord would look better than the plain cord pictured, plus a socket, plug and nice edison bulb would all be around $30.

The Nelson lamp doesn't look good as a wall light.

Light 7 looks like it belongs in a dorm room.

The Ikea light (8) would look great painted in other colors. High temperature paint would work for that.
