It looks kick-ass. That’s plenty. All the rest doesn’t matter. If you like the way this looks you gotta pay the price. (And what exactly is wrong with looking kick-ass?) I’m sure you will be able to buy some cheap imitation soon enough. If you are lucky this might even be picked up by some talented designer at Ikea and you might get a really honest and well-made imitation, not something that doesn’t even get the point of this design. I also don’t think you ever bought an upscale lamp like this. $600 for a desk lamp is a completely middle of the road price for the category this lamp is competing in. It’s not even extraordinary. The competitors in this market segment have the same or higher prices. For example, Elane from Serien costs roughly the same or even more and doesn’t even have any fancy heat pipes: http://serien.com/en/produkte/elane/table/ http://serien.com/en/produkte/elane/table/ (I mean, look around the products of this brand and you will also find these technological innovations and unique materials and all that jazz that doesn’t amount to much in the end. It’s a justification game for the prices – but in the end it’s all about the looks, really. The drama of home furniture is that you can often get something decent but not very special for an ok price, but then … then you see this really cool looking thing right next to it that would add that little bit extra … but costs an order of magnitude more. I’m not sure why prices are so weird when it comes to that. I mean, someone like Ikea is sort of attacking that market and those prices in some weird way, but those upscale places still exist. And you definitely lose the uniqueness with Ikea – because their well-designed stuff will soon be everywhere.)
