Mr. Switch is an adorable twist on an everyday item: the light switch. The amazing Bristol-based product designer, John Caswell, created this cute concept. I love the fact that Caswell gives a personality to an inanimate object. Mr. Switch comes in a variety of expressions, perfect for any room.
Caswell has some other great designs on his website. Three of my favorites are the Wailers, a pair of ceramic speakers shaped to look as though they are singing to you as your music plays; Hang On, a wardrobe made of wood with pop out, usable coat hangers, and Slim Jim, a table lamp held up by a little man, called ‘Jim.'
