Really loved the lamps featured here. I'm jealous of the whole setup, including the Vitsoe shelving. Saving this for inspiration when I need to revamp my home setup. Thanks for sharing!

I have a $2.94 USB silicone lamp shaped like a duck. To each their own.

I couldn’t differentiate one of these designer lamps from an ikea lamp. They look almost the same.

Yes, Ikea copies iconic designer lamps often very closely. I thinks its great, but also love to have some select pieces as functional art.

I love iconic minimal lamps too. I never saw the Lampe de Bureau nor the Kismas Lamp 01, love them! You might like the Muuto Post.

I'll note that many of the glass blocks they use are available all over, for a few dollars. I bought a few Doric glass blocks, stuck some diffused LED strips below them, and printed a stand/enclosure, all for under $15. Good gift for friends.

Am I the only one who fantasized about the whole place more than the lamps?

No because you likely do not drench yourself in hubris daily.

The arrogance of people still inventing new lamps after the Ikea KRUX lamp is astounding

This PH5 lamp was invented in the 1950s

I'm not sure why anyone even tried to invent a new pendant light after the PH5. ;)

What a beautiful home. I love the office and desk setup specifically. The lamps are cool too.

One lamp featured was a "mini Tizio". I bought the full-size one many, many years ago. (E.g. uses a Halogen bulb.) This article prompted me to think... So I just Goolged it. My vintage Tizio is now selling for about $1,200. (Cannot remember what I spent, but very likely my <$150 filter kicked in when buying.) So if you like these lights, maybe consider the cost an investment. If after a few decades you may want to sell, and you might do well. Note: My Tizio is not for sale as it is a superb desk lamp.
