Does anyone know a place where I can buy good, simple table lamps? My only real criterion is a white/cream lampshade which diffuses light nicely. I don't care if it's contemporary or trad, just want something simple and high quality.
They are great if you live in a 1950's bank.

Stupid thing to say.
2. There is nothing intrinsic about the lamp which makes it more useful for a banker, or less useful for home use.
3. Indeed, tens of millions of these lamps have been produced, and even a child's understanding of statistics would tell you that the vast majority of them have not been used in banks.
4. And indeed, the name "banker's lamp" probably wasn't coined until recently. They are called "lawyer's lamps" in England.
1. The lamp was designed in 1909 and was widely popular until the '70s, and it's still very common in England and the East Coast of the USA. So I don't know where you got the '50s from.

5. Finally, and most importantly, it is functionally a very effective design as a task light and the high-quality ones look perfectly attractive. So your snarky little joke, "it would be a great choice if you lived in a 1950s bank, hehehahahaueauh", is completely ******* irrelevant stupid ****.
