the smartphone industry churns out new editions every year, with no consideration to do with old still useful predecessors. ukranian industrial designer ivan zhurba developed a lamp that reuses senior apple iPhones like the ‘4’ and ‘4s’ or ‘5’ and ‘5c’ versions to convert them into light sources and audio speakers. the design consists of an unsophisticated arm that hugs the phone leaving the bottom exposed to feature the built in LED light perviously used as the flash for taking photographs.
