Marjan van Aubel creates indoor solar light to usher in “solar democracy“

Dutch designer Marjan van Aubel has developed a solar lamp that is designed to be hung in front of windows so it can generate its own energy. Called Sunne, the light is equipped with photovoltaic cells and an integrated battery, allowing it to harvest and store enough energy throughout the day to light up a room at night. Van Aubel designed the lamp as part of an ongoing project to normalise solar technology by bringing it inside homes. “To facilitate a shift in our perception towards solar, it also needs to be more accessible to a larger group of people,“ she told Dezeen. “People need to be able to familiarise themselves with it and have it in their surroundings. Sunne is a first step to integrating solar energy into our everyday life.“ Read more on Dezeen: WATCH NEXT: Live interview with Marjan van Aubel | Virtual Design Festival - h Subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest architecture and design movies: ​ Lik
