The Scooby-Doo Table Lamp may not be what people are expecting from such a name, but it does highlight the simple whimsical properties this design has. Instead of resembling a Great Dane or other similar mixed breeds, this lamp is incredibly [modern and minimalist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20). The [clean lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-table-light) and [basic lamp shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takeout-lamp) is not even something that would be found in Shaggy Rogers' apartment. Nevertheless, the Scooby-Doo Table Lamp would make a great household companion.

Created by Italian designer Giorgio Bonaguro for Brazilian manufacturer La Lampe, the Scooby-Doo Table Lamp contrasts rich materials with a basic design. The stand does have a quirky element, however, that is reminiscent of the pigeon pose in yoga. The red cord also adds character to the light fixture.
