Touch me. Always liked Lampa from a distance. Liked them even more when we saw them at ICFF and met the owners, Cliff Baldwin and Marta Baumiller, a husband and wife team working on Long Island.
The Cube Lamp is a pick for today. The Cube is minimal, colorful (the base comes in 6 colors), and so much fun to turn on (you touch the base and it turns to one of three settings). $280 - available online or at:

I have to protest the bedside lamp that turns on and off by touching the base. Imagine fumbling at night for something on your bedside table (like your glasses) or putting things down when you're tired, or a pillow pushing a pile of books that pushes into the lamp. BAM the light goes on. We stayed at a house last year with these types of lamps and were continually annoyed by them. Neat idea, terrible functionality.
