MultiBook by Dante Donegani – Giovanni Lauda for Rotaliana

A multifunctional lamp for use at home, on a table or desk, as a bedside lamp or while travelling …
Its book shape combines different uses:
• Around 3 sides are 74 LEDs for a diffused light
• inside there is a 3-way multisocket and a container for cables and transformers;
• the spine has a calendar and digital clock;
• the top cover has an illuminated label for your personal details.

With its book form and luminous performance, MultiBook is a technical object with a familiar face. It’s your personal toolkit to use in any situation: to light your desk, keep it tidy and free from the usual array of cables; to use as a clock in the bedroom, to recharge your mobile and MP3 batteries and when you travel, you can store the transformers for all your electrical equipment.
Made from plastic the MultiBook comes in 4 finishes: black, white, lacquer red and blue.
The decoration is inspired by the ars illuminandi, or miniature illustrations that are found in medieval texts.
