I’ve long had a crush on round, white table-lamps. I got the above one many years ago from Åhléns for about SEK 249 a piece. I have two. No, they do not sell them today, but they had them for quite a long time. At the end of the selling-period they also added a larger model. I always liked the small one best. Smooth and round, slightly oval, mat surface.

Sometimes, like above, I place them on the window-sill, sometimes on a table. They both got updated with a LED lamp a couple of days ago.

Friend Ulla also always liked my lamps. But doesn’t want to pay a fortune to get a similar one. A “fortune” is anything above SEK 500 both in hers and my eyes.
There are similar lamps around for a higher price than what I paid for mine. Lately they seem to have started to pop up at several companies.
Globall by Flos
Globall by Flos is one of them. Not new, has been around for quite some time. Comes in various sizes and models. Not cheap… Sold by several retailers around the world.
Flos mini globall
The above is the smallest. Flos mini globall. What I remember of them from seeing them in stores the Globall lamps are a bit more shiny than the other ones mentioned on this page.
One of the newer ones is the MIMO S LED lamp which is sold by Nordic Design Collective below. A nice thing is that it can be run by batteries, no cable. Gives you freedom to place it anywhere.
Mimo S LED
Love it. But it is more expensive than I would like to pay for a smallish lamp, SEK 1195. Not as round as the others but round enough. Not as expensive as the Globall and/or the Iitala lamp below though.
Iitala Kuukana
Another new one on the market is Iitala Kuukuna above. Even more expensive… SEK 2.799. Some more information here.
I am sure that there are more similar lamps out there. It has a pretty basic form… But why do they have to be so expensive as soon as they get a designer label on them? My original ones had the perfect price…

I found “my” lamp on the internet. Or at least it looks like my lamp and has the more reasonable price too. Here http://www.wohnzimmer.se/se/produkter/lampor/bordlampor/ it is. It comes in three sizes. 15, 23 or 27 cm diameter. The largest presently in stock, the smaller ones 4-6 weeks delivery.
