    Powered by a magnetic switch, the lamp is on when the switch sphere is floating below it — suspended by magnets. To turn it off, the switch orb is set on the lamp, where it stays.

    It’s just a prototype, but I cannot wait to see it out in the wild.

    The designer, Constance Guisset, created a very, very, very Zen video of the lamp in action, fast forward to about 1:30 if you just want to see her wave between the switch ball and the lamp like a magician (that’s all I wanted to see).
