If I had $9,000 to spare....



...and a 100,000 square foot home or office, I would totally get this Luxo the Great 1 lamp! It's totally insane to have a light this giant in your house, but under the right circumstances, it can be done! Stranger things have happened.

I like the idea of this gargantuan of lights in a room with only one piece of furniture. Perhaps a very comfy lounge chair. I also like the idea of this being in the library or one's private study. I think children would also be keen on this fun piece of furniture. In fact, it was this light that inspired the Pixar people!

The Great 1 is the sort of thing that inspires great adventures, or conspiracies. Just imagine a room full of aging but wise old men, devising how to control the charlatans that are about to invade country X. Country X has held out for centuries against many an invader, but this time country Y is strong, powerful and strategically adept in military warfare! The men of Country X, the wisest of the elders and the most decorated of statesmen, must not let their countrymen down. Then, just hours before the armies of country Y are about to descend, a heroine and sagely virtuous woman comes into the room with The Great 1 to announce the winning strategy...

The Great 1 is made for legendary events. Do you have one in mind? Perhaps President Obama might consider one of these for his "situation" room. The recession would surely end...
