Resembling the button nose of the cult cartoon character, the Snoopy Desk Lamp is an iconic piece from Achille Castiglioni designed in 1967. This fun piece has an extraordinary shape, which follows the principles of efficiency and dispenses light evenly across a surface.
Regardless of its compact form, the unique design of the desk lamp makes any interior more interesting. The Snoopy Lamp has remained a classic in the industry and is featured in design museums worldwide.
The base is handcrafted in marble, and attention to detail does not stop there – even the rotary dimmer switch on the base was a carefully thought out addition.
Cuberious produces this great piece in high-quality marble with a metal shade in a choice of black or white.

Cherished worldwide, Achille Castiglioni was born in Milan in 1918, graduating from architecture at the University of his Birthplace in 1944. Upholding the intrinsically key animating spirit of Italian design, particularly within lighting, Castiglioni has worked alongside some of the most prestigious furniture manufacturers from Italy. It is, however, the self-titled Integral Designer’s work collaborations with his brothers, Livio and Pier, that Castiglioni will be best remembered for.
Dedicated towards an experimentation of industrial products, the Italian exhibited keen interest towards the direction of Urban Planning, Architecture and Design, performing analysis and research on new forms, techniques and materials. Achille Castiglioni earned great international recognition for his projects applied to serial production in the fields of lighting fixtures and furniture, as well as for his breath taking installations realised around the world.
In 1969, he was nominated Professor of Artistic Industrial Design, chairing the Faculty of Architecture in Turin until 1980, whilst in 1986 Castiglioni was made Honorary Member of the Faculty of Royal Designers for Industry by the Royal Society of Art in London. MoMA’s permanent collection in New York hosts no less than 14 of his works, whilst the coveted designer was presented with the illustrious Compasso d'Oro award on an impressive 9 occasions.
