The surprise of opening each box to find what unique blend of glaze you got would be super cool. I love them and can't wait to see them in stores. Bot, i think you need to take a step back and appreciate these things for what they are. Small or not, they are clearly unique and precious objects in typical shapes that Tom is best known for.

Their shapes are hardly exciting and I can see the lamp holders protruding from the top of the form, which tells me these are pretty small. The problem seems to be a big design machine (TD) following the "fashion design" model and simply churning out new product each year to stay fresh. And they've lost focus on producing good products. Come on Tom, you can do better then this, much better. With Tom’s history of innovation and his huge design team in London, are these pendant lights really the best they can come up with?
