Lumio: The Bibliophile’s dream lamp!

Book lovers always have their favourite corner under the lamp, getting their daily reading fix. But did you ever imagine a lamp that could be, quite literally, a book? This is the Lumio Lamp, which, when closed, looks like an ordinary notebook, but when opened, it’s the most interesting light fixture you’ve ever seen—with ‘pages’ that light up your world!  San Francisco-based designer Max Gunawan created this cool fixture by combining concepts from origami with his interest in flexible, adaptable lighting solutions. The pages are actually water-resistant Tyvek with LED lights inside that offer a creative and bookish take on illumination. The multifunctional lamp comes with a custom orange micro-USB charger and magnetic wooden pegs for mounting, and has an 8 hour battery life. There’s also a leather strap that you can use to suspend the lamp. The original Lumio comes in walnut and maple wood finishes and is priced at $190 each. But you can also buy smaller variations with magnetic spine covers priced at $125.
