Mario Bros. Industrial Pipe Lamp: The Awesomest Lamp to Light Up Your Room

Mario Bros. Theme Industrial Pipe Lamp

Mario’s one of those video game characters who I think is truly deserving of the ‘Super’ title. He climbs down tunnels, chucks fireballs, and takes to the sky (provided he’s got the raccoon suit on), all in his quest to save the princess.

Now you can have a functional memento of Mario in action thanks to TRoweDesigns. They specialize in Steampunk, industrial-type lamps like this one inspired by the Mario Bros. franchise. It’s got a single light held up by a black iron pipe that’s encased in a vintage glass insulator to light up your room.

Probably the awesomest part about the lamp is how you’re supposed to switch it on. There are no buttons to press or switches to flick, because all you have to do is pull the chain where Mario’s hanging from and, voila! You’ve got light!

Five-Foot Tall Deep Sea Angler Fish Lamp Looks Freakishly Awesome

Giant Junkyard Fish Lamp

You’ve seen this fish before. Probably not live, but when it was featured pretty prominently in Finding Nemo. It looked scary in the movie and probably looks even scarier in actual. But the deep sea angler fish doesn’t get any scarier than how it appears in its lamp form.

The fact that it stands at five feet tall doesn’t help matters either. This lamp was created using an assortment of recycled materials, from forks and knives to old bike parts and shovels. And when you flick the switch, you’ll be treated to the scariest sight of your life. I think it’s probably demeaning to just call it a lamp, because it looks more like a piece of art, if you ask me. Its creator Justin La Doux seems to think so, too, because he actually entered the lamp (which was part of a grander installation) into the 2010 ArtPrize contest, where it was judged as one of the top 100 among the 1,700 or so entries.

Owning a piece of art isn’t cheap, so you shouldn’t expect this lamp to be, either, because it’s priced at $8,000.
