The Jolabokaflod Book Campaign is proud and delighted to announce a new partnership with Lumio, to have the US luxury lamp company as an official sponsor.

Lumio has provided lamps that are ideal for reading books as prizes that will be presented to worthy award-winners during a short ceremony at the Jolabokaflod Gala Party held at the Hotel Café Royal on 2 February 2017.

Designed by Max Gunawan, Lumio is a modern lighting solution that lets you experience beautiful lighting wherever you are. Closed, the lamp takes the shape of a hardcover book. Open, it becomes a sculptural lamp with the versatility to fit any space.

Lumio is the first product from Max’s design studio, which is dedicated to helping people live large with less. His work employs minimal and clean-line design, and centres around optimising the use of small spaces.

In October 2013, Lumio was named by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the top 10 best crowdfunded products in the article, ‘10 of the Most Innovative and Bizarre of the Top 100 Crowdfunded Companies‘. Lumio raised USD $578,387 from a successful crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter backed by 5276 pledges of financial support in exchange for a range of perks and rewards. Lumio received further investment after a memorably successful pitch in January 2015 on the ABC television show, Shark Tank (known as Dragons’ Den in the UK).

Nicole Lee, Business Development & Brand Visual Ambassador at Lumio, says: ‘At Lumio we have one goal: make life better by making simple, beautiful, and functional products. We bring a modern design aesthetic, combining craftsmanship and technology to simplify modern living. We make products that make life easier, more enjoyable and delightful.’
