Let there be light! This clever sheet of paper is actually a handy torch
To the untrained eye, this little device created by designer Kazuhiro Yamanaka appears to be a regular piece of paper. Well, almost. When rolled into a cylindrical tube, however, two cleverly hidden switches power up an attached LED and voila, instant illumination.
Put down and allowed to unroll, the light automatically turns itself off. Thin and light, this flashlight(?) is perfect for those lacking adequate storage space, which, here in Japan, is not all that uncommon of a problem.
