You think that your MacBook embodies the essence of simplicity because of it was painstakingly machined from a single slab of aluminum? Well, the Brick Lamp by HC Wang is pretty much just that slab of aluminum.

The Brick Lamp's controls couldn't be simpler. You want light? Place the lamp on one of its edges. You want dark? Place the lamp on its back.

Of course, while HC Wang may be on to something here, I'm pretty sure that I can take the design to the next level. How?

I'm going to remove the light. [HCWang via mocoloco via OhGizmo!]
