| Damian O'Sullivan, Solar Lampion | |
| Unlike most solar lamps, which are left in a fixed position outdoors, the Solar Lampion lets users take light into their homes at night. The geometric spiraling of the Solar Lampion recalls natural structures, such as pinecones, and traditional Chinese paper lanterns. The lamp is composed of layers of concentric rings, each one holding six solar cells inclined thirty degrees to catch the sun's rays. Each solar cell is connected to a light-emitting diode fed by a rechargeable battery. (moma.org) | |
