SIVU: A Foldable Table Lamp

Because sometimes simple is better when it comes to design… Helsinki-born, Amsterdam-living, industrial designer Simo Lahtinen designed a minimalist table lamp built for various uses.

The foldable SIVU is made of two parts that are connected by a leather strip. Inside the two-part walnut core is a strip of LED lights that illuminate softly through the plexiglas. You can adjust the light by opening and closing SIVU like a book.
