Reading in bed can be a strain on the elbows, but the 'Hang Book Lamp' will take the ease off aching arms and tired eyes no matter how epic the tale. Developed by students of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design, the contraption's cord-like form is suspended from the ceiling, making the fixture the copybook clutch for crime fiction.
Embellished with a tiny bulb at the end of the noose, the 'Hang Book Lamp' can be wound around any story's spine with the illuminated tip angled towards your current page. All you have to do to activate the switch is tug on the cord.
