Tag: Yoyo

Confession: I’ve always been bad with yo-yoing. (Yes, I checked, that’s actually a real word.) I only manage to unwind and wind the thing a maximum of two times before the yo-yo just stops dead, no thanks to gravity and my lack of ability to yo-yo.

Some of my fondest childhood memories involve doing (or more accurately, attempting to do) tricks with an old Duncan Butterfly YoYo. So when I saw these whimsical YoYo lighting fixtures, I said to myself – hey, I need one of those! German Designers Catarina von Matérn + Lisa Lindström created theses clever floor lamps for Elmar Flötotto which store their power cord around a central axle when not in use.
