Buying Guide

Whether you are considering Beatrix Potter’s delicate watercolor bunnies, Rosemary Wells comic rabbit family, or the contentious tribe of hares from Watership Down, there is something appealing about rabbits. The little ones with their whuffly noses and playful antics, or the deliberate loppety-lop of a mature jackrabbit as he considers how best to remain unnoticed all tug at something within us. Perhaps it is because rabbits turn up in a variety of environments and because they are sometimes kept as pets that they touch a common cord with many people. From nursery to living room, there are rabbit lamps to appeal to everyone.

What are some of the best designs of rabbit lamps?

Peter Rabbit

This intrepid little bad boy rabbit who invaded Mr. Macgregor’s garden has also invaded many children’s hearts over the years. The enchanting and often terrified bunny boy who managed to lose his new shoes and all the buttons on his jacket, and finally came home with a tummy ache, is the one and only boy in Mrs. Rabbit’s brood. His three sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail hardly enter into the picture, although they receive a treat with their evening meal instead of being dosed with a curative tea. Even so, it is Peter who adorns lamps, bedsheets and window curtains in nurseries. He is a bold adventurer posed under the lampshade, ready to take on any number of cats, rats, and irate gardeners.

Miffy Bunny

Before Rosemary Wells created Max, another bad boy bunny, there was Miffy Bunny by Dick Bruna. Miffy books are targeted for ages four through eight years, focusing on simple themes children can relate to such as going to school or having a birthday party. The simple line drawing character translates well as a softly glowing nightlight to guide little feet toward the bathroom or back to bed again. The simple shape is ideal for an LED standalone lamp that can be placed on a bedside table.

Reading Bunny Lamp

While Ruby and Max, from Rosemary Wells’ bunny books, have not made their way onto lamps or lampshades, this reading bunny with his magnifying glass and relaxed pose could easily be reading their adventures. Perfect as a bedside table lamp for any rabbit lover, this scholarly lagomorph (that’s a fancy word for hare) sprawls on his stomach peering at a book through a looking glass. Dressed in overalls, he looks as if he were looking up some serious information.

Fox and Rabbit Reading Lamp

No rabbit reference is complete without a fox or two. A combination you wouldn't really see in real life, when featured on a lamp, the two animals create a springboard for your kid's imagination to flow.

Softly Glowing Rabbit Nightlight

An elegant sculpture that could easily have been the “real” bunny in Velveteen Rabbit, soft white porcelain is lit from within and is perfect for an older child who collects rabbits.
