Collapse Lamp
This lamp falls over when it’s turned off. Called
Collapse Lamp, it has a cord slotted through the
loose wooden components that make up the base to
hold them upright under tension. When the cord is
released, the weight of the protective foam shade
makes it topple over. Electric contacts in the toggle
that holds the cord in place complete the circuit
to turn the lamp on when it’s upright.
