Just the other day I was talking to my sister about how we both set reminders for the next day if already in bed. We both grab whatever is closest to us (in distance, not to heart) and throw it towards the bedroom door. The next day, that grey throw pillow, t-shirt or sock automatically reminds us to pack the binoculars, call the cable company or pay that bill that’s due etc. This never fails. Our respective partners would probably not even remember if the binoculars, bill or cable guy himself was lying on the ground by the door. For them, of for anyone with an eye for design, there now is the Drawlamp. It’s a nifty designed ceramic lamp that you can draw on as many times as you like. So great for those last minutes mental notes, great ideas or other that pops to mind when you just can’t be bothered to get out of bed anymore. But naturally you can also draw a lamp on it, or any other picture that you like to see illuminated. I like it. And I can’t believe how something so simple and effective can seem so new? I don’t recall seeing it before.

The lamp is designed by East-London based design studio Sam & Jude. You can buy it at Mookum for € 39,90.
