Novel Opening Lights

This Book Table Lamp Hinges Wide to Emit Greater Illumination from Its Panels

— March 27, 2015 — Art & Design
Ideal for desktops and bedside tables, this book table lamp blends in with the literary objects that are commonly found on these sorts of surfaces. Simo Lahtinen took a very creative approach to dreaming up an illuminating object, giving it a shape that resembles a hardcover rather than the conventional stand-plus-lampshade.

To turn on the SIVU light, you simply draw the walnut wood panels apart, gradually exposing more and more of the bright surfaces inside. Diffuse white light escapes from the faces within the hinged fixture, pouring out more and more with the increasing angle of the separated leaves. When you don't require the book table lamp, simply close it and lay it flat on your nightstand, or just tuck it in between your shelved paperbacks.
Trend Themes
1. Novel Illumination Design - Designing lighting fixtures to resemble everyday objects, like books, offers a unique and playful approach to lighting design.
2. Interactive Lighting - Creating lighting fixtures that require physical interaction, such as opening or closing, adds an element of engagement and interactivity to the user experience.
3. Portable Lighting Solutions - Developing compact and foldable lighting fixtures provides convenience and flexibility for users who require portable lighting options.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The home decor industry can explore incorporating unique lighting designs, like book table lamps, to offer customers creative and stylish lighting options for their spaces.
2. Furniture Design - Furniture designers can consider integrating innovative lighting solutions into their designs, such as hinged fixtures, to enhance the functionality and visual appeal of their products.
3. Interior Design - Interior designers can leverage novel lighting designs to create visually striking and interactive spaces that enhance the overall ambiance and aesthetics of a room.
