Solar power holds strong promise for those in developing nations where traditional electricity remains unavailable to offer a decentralized way to power essential items, and the conceptual 'Bottle Pedestal Solar Lamp' comes as an example of this. Designed by Thinkdo Design and winner of the Red Dot Design Concept Award for 2018, the lamp consists of a main unit that is crafted with a biodegradable cork shell, a small solar panel and a metal bracket. The bracket allows the unit to be attached onto the top of a plastic drink bottle to instantly turn it into a desk lamp to make it an accessible solution for those with limited means.
The conceptual 'Bottle Pedestal Solar Lamp' will offer crisp illumination that can be used all around the house to offer personalized lighting as required.
