Lamp hunters - help: alternative to Moooi Random lamp

[oricella]

For a long time I have loved the Random lamp by Moooi Unfortunately the budget won't stretch that far and I'm looking for alternatives...

It needs to be sizeable to fill a void between downstairs and upper floors (80-100 cm diameter) and would also consider something in a bold colour (to match blue windows)

Anyone up for the challenge to find me an alternative?

The ikea paper one is a bit similar and much cheaper - I saw someone who had spraypainted it to make it look a bot different and I think I will consider this for a similar area in our new house .....

this one I mean www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/30190447/

the one I saw was lightly sprayed silver so just edging but made it look a bit more expensive. You could spray it blue!

That one is on the back-up list, but still not convinced. Could let two toddlers loose on it with some blue paint, that would maybe yield something interesting

thogh I think you should save up for the random one

this is VERY similar dwell.co.uk/112029/Abacca-shade-grey/

Make your own:

Large balloon/beach ball
Wallpaper paste
A bit of old rope

Like the Dwell one

Why don't you buy a lampshade frame and make something?

ooh.. that dwell one might do the trick! Like the JL one, but too small

Thanks (dp is stunned at the idea of other MN'ers joining in the search!)

I like the Dwell one - you could spray it any colour

tell your DP there is NOTHING we can't find!

at PD

It's a brand new house, so after something stunning and a bit scared that any craftwork on my part would end up in bringing the whole place down

Ah, nononono, what you are after is a stunning juxtaposition of cutting edge modernity with a creative masterpiece that declares you Onwership of the space you inhabit...

I think the Dwell one may well be a Winner.

I also quite like this one but might be a bit tacky in RL www.bhs.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/bhsstore/976705/233067

link doesnt work?

ffs Eclipse pendant chandelier

How about this one? Too rustic?

Moving on to wall lights now...
and cork flooring...
and towel heaters....
despairs

I am saving up for a Random light. This is the closest knock-off I've found, but I think I might hold out for the real thing.

wow - they really are going for the replica's aren't they? I think at those prices I'd keep on saving a bit more and go for the real thing

Went for the dwell one in the end and live in hope that one day I'll get the Random light maybe start dropping strong hints about a 40th birthday present

thanks all

which colour Dwell one did you go for? Can you let us know what it's like in the flesh? I may get one ...

Such ugly on-trend lighting.

Wouldn't you prefer a Foscarini Caboche light hanging low over your stairwell? I suspect you will still love the Foscarini in 10 years, the Random not so much. Sorry to sound so much like my Mother.

I'm struggling to love the Foscarini right now MrsJ! Does your mother has one over her stairwell?

Befuzzled - went for the grey one and will let you know what it's like in real life... only a few more manic weeks before the whole place is done

goes off to chase the electricity company, because what is the point of nice lighting if you can't get the power on

In return, could you please find me a cheaper large white oval knock-off Tulip dining table when you have a minute or any of you interiors people on this thread.

Befuzzled, like this one?

Yes! that's by far the ceheapest I've seen. Unfortunately is out of stock - please shout if you see elsewhere.

Gah, rookie mistake

This one is not as cheap but still a bargain compared to the real thing, and comes in various sizes/tops.
