'lumio' unfolds from a book into a lamp
the ideas contained within a book are illuminated with 'lumio'.
an object whose formal qualities resemble that of a hardback, it functions intuitively. simply open its cover to turn on the lamp,
and close it to turn it off. its flexible spine allows the user to control brightness by adjusting its angle without a switch or button.
sparked to life by indonesia-born US-based designer max gunawan, the book unfolds into multiple lighting possibilities:
accent light, ceiling pendant, emergency light, outdoor lantern, table lamp and wall sconce. with up to 8 hours of continuous battery life,
'lumio' offers portable, cordless lighting on-the-go.
the project recently launched on kickstarter, and has already surpassed its target goal by more than 200%.

the lamp is influenced from the idea of an illuminated book

the lamp functions intuitively - it turns on when one opens its cover, and shuts off when the book is closed

'lumio' offers multiple lighting possibilities: ceiling pendant, outdoor lantern, table lamp...

cool
incredible! awesome! wild! Lumio is a perfect match for Tesla’s ideas. where is Lumio’s power coming from?
Nice integrated concept!
Depending on the output, Mr. Gunawan probably uses a rechargeable battery that probably last 2-4 hours. The light given off by the fixture is not controlled so it seems to give off a lot of glare. As a novelty, it appears to answer its purpose. The idea of opening a book like object to turn on a light is not new. Except for the Tyvek origami, I would not consider this covering new territory.
Very nice!!
Dukta…? About 4 years ago? no…? So many people are using this hinge ‘design’ now.
