Snoopy Table Lamp in Green
The Snoopy Table Lamp is one design that embodies the Castiglioni brothers’ jovial temperament. A charming character with an elaborate and inventive fantasy world, Snoopy—created by Charles Schulz in 1950 for his Peanuts cartoon strip—was the perfect fit to become a Castiglioni creation, as the cartoon character’s sense of adventure and imagination complemented the brothers’ own creativity.
