Lamps - Part I (help please!)

I've started the parlor makeover (finishing) search. Starting with lamps.

These are my requirements:

Switch on the lamp itself not the cord
- (Love you Ikea, but you always have your lamp switches on the cord and it drives me nuts!)
Sort of tall. 24"?
- All the furniture in the parlor is pretty low, so I'd like the lamps to add some height.
Retro/Mod Style
- No pleated shade, no cone shaped shade.

Here are some that I like (on a very quick search):

From CB2

Love this one from Tango Lighting, too bad it is $564 w/ architect's discount.

Is this one from the MOMA Store played out?
