Thinking more about the paper lampshades... the John Lewis / ikea round paper lampshades are not really Noguchi copies, they are just what they are and you can find nameless versions all over E/SE Asia.
I think Noguchi lamps are really nice and they are on my wishlist, I might even get one eventually. Agree with @dbr that you're paying for the craftsmanship as much as the design (or name) which is true even if you get a round one. I kind of want one of the funny lopsided little creatures. I also made my own versions as a kid before I'd ever heard of Noguchi, so might try that again too.
(But I still don't think they're cheap)
