But not only is this [unique lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-lebow-table-lamp) funny, it's also highly functional. Created by designer Steffi Min, the Peg lamp allows users to easily replace light bulbs by holding down the ends of the peg, inserting in a new light bulb, and letting the peg clamp down on the freshly replaced bulb. This can be a great convenience and time-saver, making the Peg lamp's novelty secondary to its engineering. Still, having an over-sized [clothes peg lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-lamp) hanging in the middle of your room would be pretty amazing.
