Do you see this bicycle brake lever? It’s not what you think it is.

This lever is actually the cleverly designed on-off switch for a lamp.

Designer Christian Vivanco says his “Rem” lamp design was inspired by a desire to combine two basic, functional items that aren’t normally connected. Rem is the Dutch word for “brake.”
