While this little guy could just hang out on your desk looking cool, he’s much more interested in helping out instead of just sitting around doing nothing. Not only can he function as a brilliant desk lamp, he can hold on to your iPod when you’re not keeping it in your pocket.

Industrial design shop Sumajin’s 12-inch tall FLEX Light Bearer has a pair of adjustable hands which can hang on to an included lighting fixture, or can be swapped out for grippy hands which hold your media player while it’s charging or syncing. If you’re looking for a bit more of a mood light, he’ll hold a tea light candle instead of an electric lamp.

FLEX is made from ABS plastic and comes in three colors: white, black and silver. At a rather pricey $200, he’s not for everyone, but if money isn’t an object, you can find him at Sumajin.
