I LOVE almost all of these - but the ones I don't like, I really don't like

fantastic! between art and artifact! cool post!

Mostly cool, but very environment specific... I can't imagine that first one in a normal home, it cries out for something uber-minimalistic and clean. And that third one would be an installation nightmare -- you'd want to love it forever, because there are at least six separate hookups in the wall, unless I'm misunderstanding something. I like the look but I'm not sure about the practicality for a Real Life situation...

Very cool! I like the origami sconces in photo 2

They look like bacterial infections

As someone who just begin searching for her first lamp for her first apartment, I never knew how interesting, awesome, and decorative (not to mention expensive...) lamps can be! These might be a little out of my price range/room size this round of lamp buying... but I love the inspiration!! I linked to this post when posting about my own lamp search :)
