Don't remember what inspired the design, I built mine in cherry a few years ago. The people that wanted this set saw mine and liked them so I copied the look.
I've found a couple of those shades too. Its hard to get the bases though. I made a base out of 3 inch ABS pipe and a cap with 3 screws to hold the shade. I think a regular bulb might get it too hot, but a compact florescent works great.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
