They hold important papers together and provide hours of mindless bending, twisting and fidgeting while on that endless conference call. Now a design team has made the paperclip a provider of light as well. Designers at Teague have come up with a desk lamp that has the same bendable appeal as the paperclip, but on a much larger scale and with a row of LEDs in the top. It's still a prototype, so unfortunately you can't buy it yet. Attention Office Depot: I think this is something you need to look into.

Cool demo of how it works at www.papercliplamp.com
