Torch light made from single sheet of paper



Occasionally, I have to work after the sun sets and there are times I have to walk back home through dark lanes. Carrying a bulking torch light is a no no for me and also I don't want to drain my phone battery by turning the smartphone into a torch light. Is there any other option? Something that can fit in easily in my handbag? Yup!

Recently Japanese design studio teamed up with paper distributor Takeo and circuit manufacturer AgIC to create a handheld paper torch. The paper torch has two buttons to switch its LED light on and off. To increase the torch brightness, the user simply needs to roll the paper tightly.

Apart from being a handheld torch, the paper torch can be used as a desk lamp or mounted on the wall.
