I agree. I think there are a lot of lesser designs out there aiming for this look that I detest, but when this is done right, ugh, it's good... so good.

It's missing the base though, which I think is a large part of the look

Wright is notoriously and spectacularly overpriced. Its supporters will tell you that (a) their curating is impeccable (I would agree, for the most part), and (b) the people who buy there are those for whom money is no object.
