We've now seen this in a few places, and it continues to blow us away. While the smaller Noguchi lamps can be ubiquitous, this big, big ceiling one (48"x46") is rare and creates an amazing overscale feeling to a room (pic above is at OK in LA)...

Large, light and not quite round, it hovers in space almost like a big thought overhead. This one gets pricey, but for the right room, we think it's worth it.

The website www.lunabazaar.com sells huge White 42 Inch Paper Lanterns for only $39 each, but you have to buy a case of 10. You'd have to have a really big space to use 10 of these! But I could see it for a large event or wedding. The bamboo ribbing is "freestyle" instead of parallel, which I actually like better.
We have a giant white paper lantern hanging in our home and we love it. And yes it cost much less that $1000. But please, stop the grousing about the price on a Noguchi lamp. Maybe the reason for the high price is not satisfactory to you but a reason exists. Half of that might be solely for the Noguchi legacy — so be it — the other half is, without doubt, attributed to subtle differences in design and craft.
