The Luxo L-1 has been the world's iconic desk lamp since 1937. It's not a form you ever really think about, except maybe when you're watching this early Pixar short. This year, to celebrate the Luxo's 70th birthday, you can purchase the Luxo Great-1, the L-1's fourteen-foot tall older brother. It's too big to fit on a desk, but it could easily light a small room, or eat smaller lamps for dinner. At $9,500, we're assuming that the Luxo Great-1 will be purchased by rarefied design geeks only.
