The project
During the day, the flexible solar cells in the canopy of the parasol charge the SunShade with solar energy. Through this energy, the Sunshade transforms into a large floor lamp at night. The first prototype is 2.5 metres high, and has a diameter of 3 metres.
Committee
In concept, an interesting dual-function product that produces light by night and shadow by day. The canopy of the parasol opens and closes in a very alluring way.
