It's not the
most expensive mood-
related gadget we've seen, but the Therapie lamp designed by Andre Keilani can certainly contend for your hard-earned money with the best of 'em. Costing between $1,099 and $1,299 depending on size, the Therapie promises to not only create a peaceful mood (that's easy) but to reduce "everyday spleen," which we definitely have too much of here around Engadget HQ. While it may look like an LCD or plasma TV -- which would help justify the price -- the Therapie actually consists of an aluminum frame and a stretched PVC canvas illuminated by a fluorescent 120V tube. A tad expensive for some parts readily available at the local hardware store perhaps, but if you're looking to get rid of that spleen without getting your hands dirty, it doesn't look like you have too many options.

woah it does look like a tv and costs as much if not more than one
WOW if people are spending all that money on that junk, I should make my own version for Half the cost.
Haha one of the colour options is "tobacco".
How's that gonna help your spleen?
I'll wait for the LED version, thanks.
Always welcome the 'removal-of-spleen' feature in my therapeutic devices.
my dad had his spleen taken out, compliments of the ER and the tackler on the other football team. if i am not mistaken, it was all covered by his health care. this seems like a viable alternative, but is it covered? de-spleening, the olsen twins told me, is the newest way to drop dead weight.
Nice light.
I'd buy one or two if it were under $70.
Seems to me a 42" plasma and a years worth of Netflix comedies would do more to keep the spleen at bay.
I think I'll just sleep away those "everyday spleen" instead... it's free!
This has been around for a while, my parents got one maybe 2 years ago
