Figurative, unfunctional and lazy design. Delete the blue cable and there's nothing more fun about it.

You do realize that 'simplistic' means:

1. characterized by extreme simplicity; naive
2. oversimplifying complex problems; making unrealistically simple judgments or analyses.

If you mean 'simple', hey, you are entitled to your opinion of when that quality is a key part of good design. In principle, I wouldn't disagree with you……elegance is even a respectable term in western scientific thought, much the less in the design world. And simple application of renewable materials, in a direct way, easy to disassemble, is also an admirable quality.

But I happen to think that, as a functional source of lighting, this collection is indeed simplistic.
