Zip Up This Lamp by Merry Design Studio

I don't know about you, but I love zippers! Add zippers to pretty much any product on the market today, and you'll make me happy. Ziplamp comes to us from the Spanish design house, Merry Design Studio and it's a pretty simple concept. Simply unzip the lamp to increase the intensity of the light. Leave a tiny sliver of light for some night time reading, or illuminate your space by unzipping it all the way to the bottom. Pretty nifty if you ask me.

According to the Merry Design Studio website, "Ziplamp is a stick made of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), wrapped by a Neoprene cover with a vertical zip." While Ziplamp is is purely in a conceptual phase at the moment, I can definitely visualize this being used in home lighting applications. Bag this up and ship it my way, please! Lights out until next time! - Via Yanko Design / Merry Design Studio

I. Love. This. Lamp. (Except the seemingly green inside to the Neoprene. Does that come in different colours?) They should team with BUILT NY, my favourite Neoprene-using company... (Since there are just so many of those...) Very cool.

I love this too! I don't think it's on the market...at least I couldn't find it anywhere. I'm sure they'd make it in other colors if it ever did go to market.
