Straw Lamps

A Sip of Light

So you're cramming before your exams and want a light that lets you read at night without disturbing your roommates. Oh, and giving you easy access to the caffeine that keeps you awake is a good bonus.

A Sip of Light by designer Sung-Kyu Nam is an ultra portable straw-inspired study light that turns on when you bend it and off when you straighten it.

I love the design. Simple, unique and very functional.

Sung-Kyu Nam also designed the unique NapTV which combines a chair and a TV in one design.
