In keeping with the pop culture trends of the 1960s, plastic furniture was given whimsical names like “the pastille” and “the merry-go-round”. The choice of names reflected day-to-day pursuits and activities like visiting sweet shops and fairgrounds. This lamp was named to fit its mushroom-like shape.
