Funny Animal Shaped Lamps Bring Cheer To Homes And Offices

We believe that the lighting has a very important role in the overall look of a space and, most importantly, its ambiance. A bunch of cool light fixtures can transform a space from boring to fun and exciting and even though there are so many mainstream designs that saturate the market, it’s not that difficult to find something interesting. There are quite a few funky themes to choose from. For instance, we managed to put together a list of funny animal-shaped lamps which we find awesome and we hope you’ll do too.

MArcantonio RAimondi MAlerba introduced an interesting series of Monkey Lamps. They’re exactly what the name suggests: a series of lamps shaped like monkeys. They look pretty realistic and they’re really cute, each holding a light bulb and looking natural doing it.

The same designers also created these incredibly cute Mouse Lamps. They’re made of resin, they’re meant to be used indoors only and they come in three versions, depicting mice that stand, sit and lie down. They’re white and they each hold a light bulb in their tiny little hands.

We covered these table lamps a few times already but we haven’t gotten bored with them yet. The Get Out Cat and Get Out Dog lamps are designed by Clotilde et Julien and they’re made of MDF and available in four different colors. Designs like these show a new direction in contemporary lighting.

Just look at this lamp. It’s so expressive and cute and it’s even looking back at you. This is Ti. Vedo, a lamp designed by Matteo Ugolini. It’s shaped like a cute white owl and it comes in two versions, one which can be wall-mounted and another one which can be used as a table or floor lamp.

As cool as this vintage motorcycle is, we’re actually interested in the cool lamps displayed on the walls, like Aprile, the fish-shaped one you can see at the back. It’s made of white ceramic and it’s simply perfect for themed interior decors, beach homes but not only that. Although the design may seem very specific, it’s actually funky enough to be much more versatile than that.

Cubano is another quirky lamp designed by Matteo Ugolini. It’s bird-shaped and its design is meant to add an exotic touch to the decor without making use of strong colors or bold forms. This is a unique wall lamp that has a lot of character and lots of personality.

The design of the Porcamiseria wall lamp seems to be a reinterpretation of the animal trophy ornament, the difference being that the lamp is meant to look playful and cute. The attitude could even be called childish but the lamp is actually more versatile than that thanks to its stylish and chic allure.

I guess you need to have a special sense of humous to decorate your home with one of these lamps. The Good Boy and Good Puppy lamps are…intriguing, quirky and fun. The first one is a unique floor lamp while the other is smaller and best suited as a table lamp.

This is Giffy, a lamp that adds color and beauty to spaces without even trying. Its design is simple and artistic, featuring a body made of birch plywood with cut outs symbolizing the spots on the giraffe’s coat and a lampshade (the head) which is brightly colored and attached to a matching cord.

The limited edition Gren Light lamp is made of oak and porcelain and comes from a collection of abstract-looking light fixtures with a highly sculptural and artistic appearance. The desk lamp’s design is minimalist and there’s no visible switch. The two small bulbs at the top can be operated with the wonderfully disguised dimmable switch that accompanies them.

Some lamps are meant to be practical, providing much-needed artificial light while others are designed to be decorative, their role being to look beautiful and to be eye-catching. The Animal Lamps from Illuminite are inspired by string art and they’re all delicate and stylish, sources of diffuse accent lighting.

The bird that holds on to the cable of each Leti pendant lamp is actually part of the lamp’s design. The birds are 3D printed and this unique pendant lighting series can be customized with various cable and bird colors. There are 3 available colors for the cable and 9 possible bird colors.

Fireflies have a magical aura which inspired a lot of creations over the years, including the Swarm Lamp series. Available as a singular accent light, in sets of three or five, the lamp has a simple and pure design which combines wood, metal and glass, a design shaped by nature.

The inspiration for the Deer Head wall lamp comes from nature and has a somewhat ambiguous character. On one hand, it’s a contemporary interpretation of the whole trophy hunting concept which is honestly a bit outdated. On the other hand, the design also has a mysterious aura, a fantasy-inspired look that makes it appealing to a lot of people.

We’re always interested in unique, creative and ingenious designs and the Perch Light fits into that category. This sculptural floor lamp is made of brass and folded paper, an unusual combination of materials for a design inspired by nature, like most animal-shaped light fixtures. This lamp depicts an abstract bird balanced on a metal perch.

Cast resin and gold leaf were used in the shaping of this funky table lamp. The body of the lamp is actually the body of a bunny. The lampshade hides the head and you can see the cute bunny ears peaking at the top. The Gilded Hare Lamp is intriguing and mysterious but also attractive in a pretty unusual way.

It’s a lovable bunny but at the same time it’s a chair and a lamp. It sounds crazy when you say it without seeing the product so have a look at the Rabbit Chair to understand what we’re talking about. This is a piece designed by Stefano Giovannoni. Looking closely at it, you can actually see how he the bunny’s ears double as a backrest. When you’re not sitting on it, it makes a wonderful lamp.

How could you say no to this lovely lamp? It’s shaped like a dog and it’s definitely very charming but not without being practical and stylish. The design is actually very clever, showcasing a dog with a pen cone around its head. The cone is actually the lampshade. {found on beliani}.

Dogs are great friends and companions even when they’re not real. This is Milk, a Daschund-shaped lamp that’s as funny as it is cute and useful. The dog’s head and rear are made of glossy ceramic while the section in the middle is made of acrylic. That’s actually where the light comes from.

Although it may seem all cute and child-friendly, this dog-shaped lamp from Formzoo Design has a pretty daring and…interesting design. It’s playful and it can actually be personalized. You can use its surface as a white canvas and draw or it using pencils and markers. Its name is Richard.
