Mid-Century Tripod Floor Lamp

The three intersecting legs of the Mid-Century Tripod Floor Lamp create an airy, sculptural base. Topped with a unique perforated light diffuser, it's a modern lamp that casts a soothing glow. KEY DETAILS Powder-coated

Can anyone recommend an alternative to this tripod lamp from West Elm? Thanks!

Lefty has a nice one on his side table, sneak in during the showing and it's yours!

Yes. Will entertain all offers of thievery and arson. (My ins premiums just went up again.)

@lefty that German shop sign is awesome.

James Bearden side tables. These came with a large 7' tall standing cabinet weighing in excess of 800 lbs that I regret not buying at auction. They are only three made in this series and really should be together. If anyone reading has the big one, let's talk.

Imagine stubbing your toe on that fucker in the middle of the night.

That’s 7 stitches and a tetanus shot is what that is

Thanks. It is cool. Though I've always thought it would be a great source for a horror movie like Trilogy of Terror where that little woodsman comes to life at night. I'm looking at it right now and there's an axe within his reach. I may have to move that.

Never stubbed myself on the Beardens, Have bumped Cloud Nine a few times and freaked out as it swayed back and forth.

There's a crate of purchased but unopened art in my wife's walk-in closet that I'm scared to investigate. I know there's at least a Sugimoto seascape and a Hambleton Marlboro Man in there. I've admired both in the past and then months later they magically showed up. Sadly, that never happens when I comment positively on one of her hot friends.

Expect the opposite effect when commenting on her hot friends.

Lefty tell me more about that cat house; who makes it? My cat needs a new scratching post spot.

 

[lefty]

We've had that for more than 15 years and I have no idea where it came from. It's indestructible as I can jump up and down on it without making a dent.

Here are some modern options: https://www.hauspanther.com/2014/12/31/stunning-modern-cat-scratchers-lounges-hideaways-from-miglio-design/

Damn, lefty's been raising the bar. I really liked the framed stone slice and the philosopher's stone, and the Sciolari sconces, Sugimoto seascape, Hambleton Marlboro Man.......

I would ask @SkinnyGoomba to make you one. No idea what that would cost (I would guess less than BDDW) but you would get a handmade piece of furniture that you could enjoy for the rest of your life.

+1. Here's the latest pic from Brian:

I think he's posted more on his instagram.
