Today I stumbled across yet another wacky design for a normal household item; the lamp. It is called "Cache-Cache" lamp which means "hidden" in French. It was designed by Victor Boeda of Paris, who apparently is a quite amazing designer. The light stays within a concealed flexible material which can be open or closed to create the amount of illumination the user desires. The system is very similar to that of a zipper. It's not only great as a desk lamp, but for decoration as well. The design is very minimalist and just seems very sleek and elegant. As for it's usefulness in an everyday household; it probably won't be a hit. This designer doesn't look like his products will come at a decent price. The idea may get across, though, to some of the bigger named manufacturers and produce a college student version.
