The lid of the boxes could, by folding it thanks to a cutout, become a real POS display revealing the lighting fixture and the contents of the box.

 Below is an extract from an article by Jany Aujame published in the daily Le Monde on January 22, 1969:
 Comfort for reading in bed
 Comfort for reading in bed begins with rational lighting and good support for the back.
 A bedroom, a place of rest by definition, must have fairly soft ambient lighting. This will be achieved by installing indirect lighting either with a floor lamp or with a light strip (with fluorescent tube) placed in the curtain box, above the window, or hidden in a cornice. To complete this general lighting, we will have various localized light sources, the most important of which are bedside lights. These will be placed on a table near the bed or attached to the wall.
 • WALL LIGHTS specially designed for reading in bed direct the light beam onto the pages of the book. It is desirable to have, in addition to this directed light, a luminous atmosphere in the room so as not to strain the eyesight. However, it is possible to use this adjustable wall lamp alone, to read while its neighbor rests in the dark.
 The light “spots” are adjustable metal cylinders which direct the light onto a specific point. Fixed to the wall by a circular base, a reflector for a 25 watt lamp, with convex plane lens. A pull switch controls the lighting (“Lirolita” no. 6130, 40.38 Francs). The same spotlight is available mounted on a clamp, with an olive switch and 1.50 m of flexible wire (same price).
