This is great.

Reading Lamp

Reading lamp, designed by French designers Jun Yasumoto, Alban Le Henry, Olivier Pigasse and Vincent Vandenbrouck, is wonderfully simple: it’s “a lamp that shuts off when you put a book on it, and that turns on when you take your book to read it.”

Very cool… But where can I buy it? I can’t find anything on the designers’ sites or the Core77 article. WANT!
