Piet Hein Eek does some great work. I first came across his designs at WALTER in in Antwerp. He's not very well represented in the US, which is a good thing and a bad thing.

I can't for the life of me find a good low media storage cabinet to put the television on top of and keep records in... looked all over. Kind of liking the blu dot piece seen here, but I need to be able to put remote controlled equipment inside, and see what the hell i'm doing so all cabinets are out... price is nice on it though
just thought i'd share this. beautiful leather objects and fantastic craftsmanship. used to have a store in milan (brera), but i don't think it's there anymore.
thanks bestial, i'm looking for something softer that allows light to bleed.
i saw this in a store recently (epak environment?), it's a flourescent lamp with a tyvek pillow shade. the table lamp version looks great, but i'd seriously consider this for as a ceiling lamp..
edit: just found out these lamps are prototypes and not for sale unless i get the gigantic one which is several feet wide and long..
But do you want it low, hanging from the ceiling down over the table, or a lamp up in the ceiling (plafond? english translation ain't with me right now lol))
EDIT: Etch Brass light from Tom
Soft in another way then through paper and such, with a dimmer it would be cool.
Foscarinis Big Bang gives a mellow light
or the Arne Jacobsen (&Tradition) Hotel Royal
But when I think about paper/cotton-outers on lamps Flos Ariette comes to mind, but that's a wall lamp.
i want it to hang, but not so low that my head bangs on it. that tyvek lamp may be too soft for my needs. this will also be the main light to illuminate the table and the room so wattage should be fairly high.
i guess i kind of want both, a directional light for the table and a semi-translucent shade to let light out..
To give mood lightning to a dinner table I often find candles to be of better use. Cause it can be hard to find a soft light that will give you the proper lightning when you want to use the table for work or likewise.
might not be what you are looking for, but a few ceiling lamps I like:
Ingo Maurer Kabokov (expensive..)
Diesel/Foscarini Fork suspension
Lumina Matrix
Nemo Logo
Ingo Maurer Zettel
We have the Nemo in our bedroom, its one of my favourite lamps as its very minimal and easily lights up the room with a 200W halogen. I think the Diesel one would also work on its own as it directs the light both upwards and down, as well as letting some through the shade. I've been wanting to get the floor lamp version of it myself. The Zettel would probably also light up a room nicely without being too bright.
