In my past I was chair crazy and could sit in more places than I could walk, I got past that addiction. In the last two weeks I have been going lamp crazy and have purchased a Tolomeo Mega, Luxmaster floor, and today a Starck Miss K table lamp(We also have a bubble and tolomeo table). I have plenty of room and desire(house is bright, Wife is pissed....not really), but not the need. I'd like to blame Room & Board, they have a lot of the lamps in stock and I can get them same day, but I'll blame good design. We sold off most of our furniture in the past 6 months and are buying all new stuff, so I can justify the purchases (2 lamps ago). Anyone else have this lamp lust and can join me in Lamp Trampism.

Chairs > Lamps > Everything else
Same here, as far as furnishings go chairs were my first love, and lamps my second. I love many things, but everything else just seems to belong to the third category.
With clothing, it's like this: shoes > jackets > everything else.

Yes chairs and then lamps. These are the furnishings that seems to have the most personality and variation somehow...
I have a (healthy?) addiction to 40's-50's lamps with sculptural metal shades and whimsical stands, Stilnovo, Arteluce, Grossman, Guariche, Mouille etc etc...

Lloyd:
Do some of your most bizarre and unusual lamps.
I have two floor lamps and two more table lamps that I want to share.
Everyone seems to agree that the Italian lighting industry made the most outragiously cool floor and table lamps, but I'd like to add the German? firm of Robert Sonneman. They sure made some nifty lamps....and they were affordable too.
