Brave New World Lamp
Don't let the tiny image fool you, this Brave New World is way bigger than you might think. The oak frame stands almost six feet high and over two feet wide, and the structure is as intricate as it is imposing: each individual piece of wood is notched together to create the complex shape, which is modeled after bamboo scaffolding in the Far East. Switch it on and sit back with a good book (we suggest a Huxley classic). Available from HiveModern.

wow, for that much money, I hope the light inside is an LED, so at least you can recoup some of the money on the electricity bill!
