The paper clip has long been an icon of pure design brilliance. Deceptively simple, it pefectly fulfils (what we assume was) the brief; hold lots of paper together - cheaply and really well. The LED lamp is a more recent player but it answers to the same purist design goals, do your job (provide light) - efficiently. Sungho Lee's "LED clip" combines the icons of efficient design past and present, highlighting the genius of them both.

One sticking point; we're not entirley sure what it is useful for - yet.

*Note: Either a narcissist, or a shitty photographer, or both, Sungho has managed to capture his reflection in this photo.
