One Bookcase, Four Ways Series by Emily Henderson

The Eclectic Sophisticate

 After having suggested some interesting objects and ideas to a client to finish off her  new shelves, I was entertained by this 'One Bookcase, Four Ways' series by stylist, Emily Henderson. 
Her styling team took the same bookcase and styled it four different ways to "show you the life-altering importance of styling. Start with simple furniture, layer on the crazy and you get a room full of personality."  Henderson is right on and she proves her case in this visual series.

This looks like a book, doesn't it? However, when you open this book up, it becomes a warm, high performing LED light. Say hello to Lumio, a portable, rechargeable and powerful light that you can take anywhere with you. Isn't this very clever?
I first came across this dynamic piece of design via clients who were excited to share this product with me after a visit to USA. Of course I was intrigued and had to learn more.
Lumio "is the first product from a studio dedicated to helping people live large with less. The studio is focussed on multi-functional, everyday objects that are simple, intuitive and beautiful." The book arrives beautifully packaged along with a USB charger, magnetic wooden pegs for mounting and a leather strap for hanging. Think of all the possibilities! Stunning.
