First of all, I reserve the right to add to or change my mind about this.  One really can't be monogamous when it comes to lighting!

But for some time now, I have been in love with this table lamp from  Cherry Tree Designs:

Obviously, the wood is beautiful, and the opague glass looks like it would create a fully, but softly lit area.  But it is the craftsmanship of the joints that really captures me.  If you follow this link to the page in LightingUniverse you can see a zoomable image of the lamp.  Click until you are zoomed all the way in and look at the careful attention to detail in the joints around the base and near the top.  It is just beautiful.

And it is comforting to know that this great lamp is made not too far away from us in Bozeman, Montana.  The entire line of fixtures from Cherry Tree is gorgeous (you can see them here) and they are all Made in America. For now, its my favorite. What's yours?
