“I see around me a professional disease of taking everything too seriously. One of my secrets is to joke all the time,” designer Achille Castiglioni once said. In 1967, he designed the Snoopy Table Lamp with his brother Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, famously inspired by the cartoon character with the same name.
Coming from a family of great designers, the Castiglioni brothers were well known for their unrivalled sense of humour. Sons of the prominent Milanese sculptor Giannino Castiglioni, this dynamic duo were part of a generation of Italian designers who lived to challenge convention.
Inspired by the infamous beagle from Charles M. Schulz's comic strip, Peanuts, Achille and Pier Castiglioni's lamp launched in 1967.
Almost 50 years later, the lamp has become an icon of modern homes interiors—and with its characteristic features, with a cylindrical marble base and an enamelled metal lampshade, it has almost turned into a cartoon in itself.
The Flos' for NO GA exclusive Snoopy table lamp features a unique colour way with a green lampshade and a black sturdy marble base. The exclusive edition will only be available through NO GA.
