Involving hundreds of cheap, disposable Bic pens and arranging them in four layers, the En Pieza Volvik lamp is an interesting statement about both modern values and modern chic. Inevitably commenters complain that they "could do that myself" (to which the counter is: but you didn't!) but the point is more that it can lead to design choices that can be executed without recourse to rare and expensive materials. (Plus, uh, you never need to look for a pen again.) Available in transparent and opaque orange. $1000 USD each, in a limited edition of 30. [GT]
