The Mario Question Mark Block Lamp is Perfect for a Child's Room
Meghan Young — January 21, 2012 — Art & Design
The Mario Question Mark Block Lamp offers a great way to light up dark rooms when playing video games into the wee hours of the night. No true gamer should feel right about using a run-of-the-mill lamp now that they have seen this Super Mario-inspired one.
Curated by Etsy seller Pete Betcher, who owns The Back Pack Shoppe, the Mario Question Mark Block Lamp is just the thing that has been missing from Nintendo-themed game rooms. Handmade in Austin, Texas, it features a poplar frame, colored translucent acrylic for the question mark and colored paper to give the red bricks some texture. Since it ships fully assembled, it comes with a single 60 watt bulb inside.
