Sleek + Clever Lamp Design Uses Loose Change to Save Energy + Money

The Finnish designer’s lamp is the perfect example of how to harness instinctive human behaviour to encourage energy efficiency. This task lamp, designed for public spaces such as libraries, is simply turned on by placing a coin in the available slot.
It works just like those super market trolleys that require your change or even that spiky seating. This lamp design will provide pause for thought on energy use, as people root around in their purses for the right coinage. And everyone will remember to turn the light off as they leave, given the penny pinching times we’re living in.
