are those recycled pvc bone lamps lit by kryptonite?!? That price is unbelievable for something recycled and "sustainable"...high design or not...feels to me its just more high and mighty.
grizzo: point taken. Perhaps this is how the fabulously rich "recycle"?
Since my wallet belongs in the Ikea/salvage/garage sale demographic, I personally look to these sort of beautiful high design items as inspiration rather than points of aspiration. I could imagine with a bit of experimentation and some handy tools, someone could make their own version of this lamp on the cheap (Home Depot chic); I'm planning a similar project for a "high design" chandelier using affordable components, but mimicking an expensive form factor. We don't always have to purchase our dreams :)
