The ingenious lamp was created by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) merchant TRoweDesigns. It features iconic characters from the series as the pull string with a warp pipe placed below them. No, the characters won't disappear and reappear somewhere in your house every time you turn the lamp on and off. Aside from being geeky, the Mario Bros Pipe Lamp has a vintage look to it. This comes from the iron pipe and the [old school-looking light bulb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-colombo). There are five characters to choose from for the pull string: Mario, Fire Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Toad. Each lamp is custom made and sells for $200. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gaming-themed Lamps:** Opportunity for creating unique and visually appealing lamps inspired by popular video games. - **Vintage-inspired Decor:** Potential for designing and selling retro-styled home decor items that appeal to nostalgic consumers. - **Customized Lighting:** The demand for personalized lighting solutions presents an opportunity for selling custom-made lamps. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Designing and manufacturing unique home decor items, such as gaming-themed lamps. - **E-commerce:** Creating and operating an online marketplace for selling vintage-inspired and customized lighting products. - **Gaming Merchandise:** Developing and retailing merchandise that caters to gamers, including lamps inspired by popular characters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gaming Star Toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincibility-star.md) - [Animation-Inspired LED Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animationinspired-led-lamp.md) - [Pixelated Gamer Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light.md) - [Gaming Console Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-cart-coffe-table.md) - [Playful Home Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woop-air-purifier.md) - [Imaginative Mushroom Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-rabbit-england.md) - [Fire-Breathing Toy Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jakks-pacific-super-mario-bros-movie.md) - [Stunning Mushroom-Shaped Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mushroomshaped-table-lamp.md) - [Mushroom-Inspired Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humble-lights.md) - [Ambient eSports Desktop Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeslamp-ace.md)
