You Decide: Turn on the Lights or Hang Up Your Jacket

Part experimentation, part product design, all ironic and wickedly funny, "Off" is the latest from electrical-engineer-turned-designer Scott Amron's Die Electric. We featured a handful of his other projects designed to cut back on energy use here, and think that the borderline subversive, tongue-in-cheek approach to mindful electricity consumption is great. Off is pretty much what it looks like: a fully-functioning, combination light switch/hook, and therein lies the dilemma. Do you hang up your jacket or turn on the light? -- you can't do both, and nobody likes a wrinkled jacket. Love it. ::Die Electric via ::Core77
