Apples to oranges (fancy blood oranges).
I certainly appreciate the inexpensive IKEA paper and bamboo lamps due to their simplicity in natural materials, lightness, and Japanese design influence. However, I probably would not use one over a "formal" dining table. But if it is "informal", then by all means, go for it. 😉
Or how about a Noguchi hanging lamp?
They are beautiful,and can often be found on Ebay. Anyhow,I do own the Nelson saucers and love them.They're like a MCM Navy blue blazer for lighting.Perhaps not the most exciting thing,but always look great wherever,and cast a beautiful glow.Guess what,I paid 75 dollars for an original (bordering on mint) 24" Nelson saucer for my master bedroom and I'll never grow sick of it. BTW,it replaced the Ikea lamp which previously occuupied that space....I kinda miss it,though...NOT!! :^)
One objective difference
is that the "plain" one has a finer visual texture than the other -- which might affect how it would comport with other objects in the space. One can pair similarly-fine-grained textures if they are compatible, or contrast the fine-textured lamp with a large-patterned carpet -- for instance. If all other textures in the room are small, the criss-cross fixture might make a pleasant punctuation.
The eye and the mind are gratified by both variety and by concordance. The latter can be the trickier: a near miss in matching colors can be far more unpleasant than a frank clash, and two competing textures of similar scale is a far worse choice than two of greatly different scale.
The plain one is to my eye wh...
The plain one is to my eye what the Platner chair is to the Eames wire chair with wire Eifel base, more restrained and repetitive and delicate.
The other one is like a pair of harlequin patterned socks on a 30 year old architect, ok but kind of irritating.
