The magic of LEDs continues to show itself with products like the Nendo Torch, a piece of  electronic paper with built in battery that becomes a torch, a pendant, and a desk lamp, all with a simple roll up.  The seemingly simplistic device is actually quite sophisticated, and the tighter you roll the paper up, the brighter it becomes.  It’s a fascinating yet totally simple design, a product that exists purely out of creative exploration.

The color temperature can be changed by rolling the paper up inside out.
