Reading lamp is also a bookmark

Designed by Jun Yasumoto, Alban Le Henry, Olivier Pigasse, and Vincent Vandenbrouck, this reading lamp is a bedside light and a bookmark rolled into one. Inside the polycarbonate body is a fluorescent light and a switch that kills the power when you place the book over the lamp. The light comes back on when you pick up your reading again.

See a video of the reading lamp in action here. It's just a pity the lamp is still a concept; we can totally picture places like IKEA carrying the lamp if it ever makes it to market.
