I’m someone who prefers to do bill paying and other household paper management in front of the HBO device instead of at a desk, so something like this would be great for tethering all my bills and such without worry about losing any important paperwork.

Spoon is a light made from plastic coffee spoons which go into the garbage daily by the thousands. The objective was to create a luxurious light with this waste.”
