Turn Your Book into This Lamp’s Roof (And Save Your Spot) [Design]

You’ll fold the page’s corner, stick in a tacky bookmark, or just throw your latest read to the floor in frustration-or, one could park it atop this lovely lamp. Reading progress, saved (and illuminated).

The Book Rest Lamp , from edgy design firm Suck UK (their creations do not!) is a pleasant piece of work, the function of that is almost obscured by the undeniable fact that it’s so pretty. But once you consider using it, you’ll understand why it’s so well designed-you keep your lamp next on your bed anyway, but all it does is shine at you once you read. Your book of the moment usually just ends up somewhere nearby. But the Book Rest Lamp uses two objects that normally orbit one another in use (the book read and the light making the reading possible) and allow them to compliment each other aesthetically. The lamp looks as if just a little house! Adorable-and while you’re able to start reading again, the spot you left off at is correct there on the roof. [ Suck UK via Curated ]
