First there was a pen that could draw any colour and now there's a lamp that shines any colour it touches. If this isn't proof that magic is increasing in power, then we don't know what is.
The Colourup is a table lamp by designers PEGA that can mimic the colour of anything that its base comes into contact with. When the silicone outer casing is squeezed, a receptor in the base absorbs the colour frequency that it sees and then instructs the light to emit the same hue; thus the mood of a room can be changed at the drop of a hat (or the squeeze of a giant lightbulb).
The product is apparently fully completed and should be hitting the market soon - in the meantime check out one of the amazing videos that the company has produced to see the Colourup in action.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
