The Nesso is just a spectacular design.

There's some sort of promotion on that Nesso at the Artemide store on Franklin. I can't remember what it was, exactly, but if you are in the market for one, it would probably be worth checking out.

I like the Nesso too. Would not mind having one in my apartment. However, that price? I mean, the Philippe Starck for Knoll ones are about 70$, well, at least in Europe? So why 900$?

I'm sad Panthella is far behind! A bunch of them have been in my family for a long long time and they still look amazing and completely relevant as decor is updated. Well worth the money that was spent on them.

Love the Spun lamp, but I think the $49.95 Rider Table lamp at cb2 gives you a similar kind of look- with the curved cone-shaped base and matching shade. No, they are not similar, but when I can save $900, I can accept certain compromises!

Wow, one can either buy the Spun lamp or send 22 kids to school for a year in rural Tanzania for the same amount of $. Anyway... the Nesso reminds me of a doughnut.
