While we often do post affordable items and DIY tips, I like to post these pricey items because they are not only beautiful, but also inspiring- most of us can't afford them, but we can always steal the ideas. Otherwise, this would be "Bargain Macabre", after all. True, these are quite expensive- but that is the nature of Haute.

The Lichtinfusion is 400 euro (and Maas only ships throughout Europe), the undercover lamp is a little over $1,000, the Nymph is just over $2,500, the Noose is a cool 4,750 <em>euro</em>, and Buchwald's pieces likely blow the rest out of the water in terms of compensatory obscenity (though in all fairness his pieces are fucking wondrous). Thankfully, all of these are relatively easy to replicate (or closely approximate) on the cheap. You can get IV stands on Ebay, LED's can be had for a pittance, and with a little clear plastic tubing and *gasp* Christmas lights you can make a luminescent noose (rope lights aren't flexible enough).
