Lumio

Max Gunawan is a San Francisco based Architect / Industrial designer who has a cool project over at Kickstarter that will brighten your day.  Entitled Lumio, it is a multi-purpose, eco-friendly, modern lamp that was designed with the vision that it can be used almost anywhere.

What makes Lumio unique?

• ADAPTABLE FORM & FUNCTION: You can transform Lumio into multiple shapes for many different functions. From your living room to the outdoors, Lumio is adaptable to your lighting needs as it changes throughout the day.
• PORTABLE & UNEXPECTED DESIGN: Lumio is cordless and folds into a compact and lightweight book. You can easily take it with you wherever you go.
• SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN A SMALL PACKAGE: It provides high output quality lighting equal to many large permanent light fixtures and lasts 8 hours on a full-charge. It folds into a compact book approx. 1″ thick.
• VERSATILE USE: Super strong magnets are built into its cover making it easy to mount Lumio on metal surfaces in many different configurations.

Lumio automatically turns on and off as you open and close the cover.  It has a flexible and durable spine design that allows you to control the brightness by adjusting the angle without a switch or button.  Lumio is the perfect, unique, stylish portable light source.  It weighs in at one  pound and when fully charged remains lit for up to 8 hours.

To make things even better, Lumio is crafted with a blend of environmentally friendly materials and high performing technology. Its cover is made of FSC certified wood (in 3 finishes) and the body of the lamp is made of 100% recyclable, water resistant Tyvek. The “core” of Lumio is comprised of high output LED lights and long lasting Lithium Ion battery.

Max’s Kickstarter project started out with a $60K goal.  Since its launch, it has far surpassed that and currently stands at almost $213K!  Head over to the Kickstarter page and pledge your support for what is sure to enlighten everyone who does so.
