Oh, I see. I think we've had this discussion before, but I, personally, couldn't care less for all this modernist furniture like le corbusier chases and barcelona chairs, etc. They have become such terrible cliches - dentist offices are chuckful of that stuff now, and frankly, none of them are comfortable or beautiful, IMHO.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

I went to a cocktail party at someone's house and saw that they literally bought one of everything from the Herman Miller catalogue. I died a little on the inside. I remember when people bought furniture (and clothing for that matter) because they liked it, not because of the brand name.
I think this is the reason why $90,000 sofas have a market today...literally because you know you won't see it in some yuppy's house on the cover of AD. Sad, but true.i traded my LUC jeans + Julius belt + Neil Barrett jeans for a blamain biker jeans

The couch I just got, an older Ligne Roset model - I barely could lift one side off the ground. Now that's a couch.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

If I may, some specific suggestions:
Akari paper light (maybe not so good around kids though)
Flor "Tab" reading light
Flos "Toio" (if you need mega-power)
Joe Colombo lamp
More importantly - what's your budget, and what do you want to light (the whole room (up-lighting), focused (reading), ambient, etc.)
I have this Jielde lamp...very practical...sturdy, no connecting wires, can be pointed up for general lighting, towards a wall for ambient lighting, or as the typical reading-style. Not too outlandishly priced...hand made...comes in a million colours/finishes. Built to last...parts are available, and you can usually fix it yourself.
It's the only light I use in my living room. Bedroom I have an Ingo Maurer bedside lamp, and an Artemide Tolomeo floor. I also have this bad boy...

Can't have paper light - they are a bitch to clean and my place gets dusty quickly.
Budget is low - no more than $500. But time is on my side, so I don't mind hunting on Craigslit/Ebay or waiting for a sale.
For now my frontrunner is the gray version of Flos K Tribe.

^ love that light...but isn't that almost double your budget?
also, watch out for halogen bulb lighting if you're conscience of ambient heat & electric bill. otherwise, they dim beautifully, but cost a lot to replace when the blow.i traded my LUC jeans + Julius belt + Neil Barrett jeans for a blamain biker jeans

The other contender is the Ligne Roset Mama lamp - a close second. Same price.
By the way, the photo below comes from here - I don't even know exactly what that means...
