Paperclip Lamp

David Wykes and Benoit Collette of Teague designed this sharp Paperclip Lamp after picking up an ordinary paperclip and giving into the same inevitable compulsion that causes us to twist the flexible metal and distort its form when one lands between our fingers. At some point, they thought it’d make a great idea for a lamp, and what a breakthrough it was; the lamp has its lights positioned on the underside and can be bent into different shapes depending on your lighting needs, from a stretched-out “Z” form hooked into the side of a desk to a lower-profile figure with only one part raised. It’s a lustrous thing, and in a pinch, it just might work to hold together the largest TPS report in the world.
