# Foldable Literary Lighting The Lumio Book Lamp Gets Brighter as You Open it Up By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-01-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumio-book-lamp References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Lumio_book_lamo--Lighting--Home.html) & [hellolumio](http://www.hellolumio.com/) For a literal version of a reading light, the Lumio Book Lamp is an incredibly cool invention that opens and closes just like a real book. As you unfold the [accordion-style lamp shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatpack-timber-lamp), the light automatically turns off and increases its brightness the more you open it up. With a flexible spine, you can actually open up this book-shaped lamp into a [360 degree circle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodi) that stands on its side. Adjust the brightness and dim the lamp by closing it a bit, and it turns off on its own when closed shut without the use of any light switch. The Lumio Book Lamp uses [no cords](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fsl-wireless), stays charged for up to 8 hours and is beautifully decorative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Foldable Lighting:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in portable lighting solutions that can be easily folded and adjusted. - **Accordion-style Design:** Opportunity to create products with an accordion-style design that offer flexibility and versatility. - **Automatic Brightness Adjustment:** Opportunity to develop lighting solutions that automatically adjust brightness based on user interaction. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home decor industry by integrating functional lighting into decorative pieces. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity to create innovative lighting solutions that enhance the aesthetic appeal of interior spaces. - **Technology/electronics:** Opportunity to develop smart lighting solutions that offer convenience and energy efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cabin-Shaped Reading Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boof-reading-light.md) - [Convenient Book Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/android-book-light.md) - [Flat-Pack Paper Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsubomi.md) - [Pop-Up Reading Light Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-task-lamp.md) - [Ultra-Flexible Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anywhereuse-lamp.md) - [Adjustable Sculptural Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-lamp.md) - [Origami-Inspired Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-lamp.md) - [Blooming Lighting Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavo.md) - [Light-Equipped Reading Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dasung.md)
