The SOLO1LIBRO Lamp Provides Light and is Fit to Save Your Page

— February 12, 2013 — Art & Design
There is such charm in the unexpected abilities of dual-purpose objects. Here we have the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp, capable of illuminating your reading nook and even holding onto your novel.

The Alessandra Corsi's creation comprises a narrow aluminum spool with a 15-centimeter diameter and LED lights in the center. Ridges on the outside keep a coiled power cord from falling off. This long orange cable extends to the nearest socket to the fixture's mounting, providing it with electricity. The slack wire that's wound around acts effectively as a sling for the open spine of a book. You can even hang several hardcovers or paperbacks on any loose available cords of the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp, keeping your reading materials open to the pages where you left off.
Trend Themes
1. Dual-purpose Lighting - There is an opportunity to create more products with multiple uses, like the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp that serves as both a light fixture and a book holder.
2. Innovative Cord Management Solutions - Products that have a unique way of organizing cords, like the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp's ridges that prevent the power cord from falling off, could be a disruptive innovation in industries that frequently use cords.
3. Personalized Reading Nooks - With the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp's ability to hold multiple books, there is an opportunity for businesses to create personalized reading nooks where customers can access a variety of reading material.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting - Lighting companies can create dual-purpose products like the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp to offer consumers more functionality from their lighting fixtures.
2. Home Decor - Incorporating innovative cord management solutions like the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp's ridges into other home decor products could improve functionality and aesthetics for customers.
3. Hospitality - Hotels and public libraries could create personalized reading nooks using products like the SOLO1LIBRO Lamp to enhance their customer experience and attract more visitors.
