Build a lamp, of course. During a recent visit to the City by the Bay, we popped into the TechShop hackerspace and were introduced to Max Gunawan, the designer behind Lumio (not to be confused with a certain smartphone line of similar name). The product, developed in that very space, offers up a cool take on the desktop lamp, fitting it into a wooden, old timey-looking book form. Open it up and the pages fan out into what looks like a paper lantern.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It's an LED light powered by a lithium ion battery that'll give you around eight hours on a charge. Due to the foldable nature of the Lumio, the device is portable and can be opened into a number of configurations, to suit your needs. Gunawan is a couple of days away from launching a Kickstarter page for the project, in hopes of getting together $60,000. Interested funders will be able to pick one up for around $95 -- wait for it to come to market, and that price will jump to around $125 or $135.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">After the break, check out a video of Gunawan giving us the lowdown on Lumio.</div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-e5b0cbad" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/e5b0cbad/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=108017863&disablebranding=0&view_secret=108017863" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe></div>
