We are looking to replace our current formal dining room light with a George Nelson saucer light. But we can't decide between the two saucers below. I think the straightforward saucer looks more formal but my SO and friends think the criss cross saucer is more sophisticated. Anyone that owns either care to share their opinion? Our 11x14 dining area is MCM with vintage furniture, standard height ceiling. Thanks!

Regular saucer, not crisscross.
In my opinion.

I'd buy version #2.
Plain unadorned bubble lamps encourage humility & separation from the world.
(The criss-cross variation is too proud!)

I don't even know
what that means exactly but I guess that is two votes for the regular saucer.

Gay marriage and adoption in Pennsylvania, what is the world coming to? I bet they even make sourdough and listen to public radio, disgusting.

HAH
Heath I think I love you....
I vote for the non-uppity uncrossed version as well. And None of them look cheap, and as much as I think fondly of IKEA, no that's not a better source...just what planet are you from anyhow?

Sorry farmery, thread overflow, I too prefer the plain version. What chairs and tables are you using? That might influence your decision.

They look cheap..
I owned one, it looked cheap and I sold it.
I'm entitled to my opinion.
The ikea pendant lights (not sure they still make the ones I'm referring to) looked infinitely better in my opinion.
Seriously, if these werent designed by George Nelson would you pay 300-400 bucks or however much they currently go for?

Well . . .
not to be ornery, but EVERYONE has the "plain" one -- I've grown a bit tired of looking at it. A new owner would feel different, of course. But it they're both Nelson designs -- or even if not -- I'd probably go for the cross-your-heart model. It's fresh - to these old eyes, anyway.

Yes, virtualaudubon...
You are indeed entitled to your opinion. You're also entitled to be ill-informed. You're entitled to be wrong as well. You're even entitled to be contrary if you like. You're entitled to be silly, too. You sleep good tonight, vertigoauthentic. You're entitled.

Hey Lunchbox how about you...
Hey Lunchbox how about you explain to me the "design" features that make these lamps so great?
When I look at them they look like cheap plastic pieces of sh*t, but then again I'm unaffected by conspicuous consumption.

Nay, voyeurautonomy...
Why don't you explain why a design classic is inferior to that of the Swede's version of modern Wal-Mart? And post a photo while you're at it...
