Pointless Electronics · PE-001
The Button
Push it. A light comes on. That's it. A small aluminum box with a single large red button and a red LED, built with the same care as a functional device. It just happens not to be one. Finished, and photographed as soon as the light stops for a second.

The pitch
Delightful in its immediacy. Revolutionary in its restraint. THE BUTTON represents years of engineering discipline distilled into a single-input, single-output architecture. When you press it, a light comes on. Every time. Without exception.
Some products aspire to do many things. THE BUTTON aspires to do one thing, and to do it exceptionally.
It exists. Reserve yours above.
