Folding Light

This is a small lamp that wants to be easy to transport and install in the house: a reading light, a mood light in the room, a desk lamp, a night light for children, a wall sconce...

It is a lamp that folds, inspired by barber razors or knives that you carry in the pocket. Its name recalls the tribute: the "folding knives" lead to the "folding light".

The lamp turns off or illuminates depending on whether it is folded or unfolded. When closed, it becomes a mysterious object of decoration, trivial or otherwise intriguing. It does not reveal its usefulness until opened, when the light comes up. It is a hidden lamp, to be manipulated, to accompany us.
Its intensity is modulated according to the chosen aperture angle and dimmer: shadow light, soft light, bright light...

Proportions, curves and ergonomics make it a simple object, pure, which fits easily in your hand or in a bag. It comes in different colors, from the most sober (black) to the more pop (red, green, blue etc.), but again, the chosen color can only be discovered on the inside. Meanwhile the wire shows its color as a reminder and thus becomes a real part of the object.
