Switch Light is an object with no defined top or bottom in a traditional sense. This is because it has two functional sides, one to receive light and one to emit light. The button-less device is turned over and a tilt switch—hidden in the object—turns the light on. The result is a liberated experience where light is free to move around the home or outdoors. The size is large enough to cast a pleasing amount of light while being small enough for a child to turn over with their hands.

Inspired by compressed emergency clothing found in Japan, these sugar cube-sized objects expand into full-size cleaning cloths when placed in water. To emphasize this miniaturization, the cubes are packed into little boxes approximately the size of an ordinary dish sponge. Each box is assigned with a colour depending on its quantity for easy identification. The white cube graphic on the box conveys actual size of the product. Minimal copy with many translations plus the use of infographics make this product internationally friendly.
