Some dude from Die Electric created light switches with hooks for your coat. It’s supposed to make you think about how much electricity you use, yadda yadda. I’m American. I’m going to use a ton of electricity until I die. Deal with it.
Looks to me like when I hang up my jacket, the power in my room will go out. Genius!

I agree. Since I’m an American, I can be a total douchebag and not worry about the consequences. Deal with it.
Just turn off your lights and quit being an arrogant prick.
In many parts of the world, switches work the other way i.e. down is on. Another unintended consequence from failing to look at the cross-cultural application of a design idea…
