A pop-up book that's also a lamp
The Book of Lights opens up to reveal an LED-powered lamp.
Ohhhh...
(Credit: Charles & Marie)There are a lot of things that have racked up frequent flier miles on Crave. Oddly shaped USB drives, awe-inducing Guitar Hero videos, and Swarovsky-covered crap are all par for the course on the average day.
As far as I know, though, this is the first pop-up book we've seen that is also a fully operational lamp. And that's worth blogging about.
When opened, the Book of Lights creates an LED-powered pop-up lamp.
Available in traditional lampshade and Parisian streetlamp versions, it's available for preorder for $95 on Charles & Marie.
The big, linen-bound book is available only in hardcover. It's a quick read, because it contains no words. But if it did have words in it, it would be its own reading light.
...snap.
(Credit: Charles & Marie)There is no audiobook version or paperback version of the Book of Lights, but you can create your own Book of Lights audiobook by recording yourself reading this sentence: "I am a pop-up lamp."
