Table Lamp Suggestions - Flos Starck Designs

I need a table lamp. Now that it's getting dark early I need more light.

I've been looking for a couple days. I don't like around 99% of lamps I see. A lot of shade proportions just seem "off" to me.

My favorite I've seen is the Flos Ktribe T2 Soft:



Anyone know of a similar looking, cleanly designed lamp with diffuser such as this at a lower price point? Max I'd like to pay is $500. $1100 for a lamp just screams excess to me.

I have this one, (Flos miss k soft) And I would not recommend it, the shade is handmade, and very poorly handmade, the stitching and hem are all over the place. Very disappointing.

Unfortunately, I find all of those quite ugly, but thanks for the suggestions.

If the FLOS lamps have poor quality like stated above, my second choice has become the Tolomeo Shade table lamp:



The lamp itself is somewhat affordable, and IKEA makes a decent knock off called the NYFORS.

I think the OP lamp looks very cheap and ordinary, like something you find at Target. I cant believe the price.

I also have one of these you might like op? Just under $500 usd, it's a lumiere table lamp by foscarini, thankfully top quality unlike the Flos.



It's a really nice lamp I must say.
