place Sun by your window

Solar panels generate power from the sun,
reminding us how moody sunlight can be.
The sharply raised industrial handle reminds us
of how a light should be used as a tool.
Nature and artifice, sensitivity and reason.
An unexpected expected design.

Sun is a portable light that runs on a small solar panel.

The simple stand-out handle is easy to carry and its comfortable weight that transcends to the human hand provides a sense of security.

The battery is charged by sunlight, and when the sensor detects a certain level of darkness, the light comes on and illuminates the area with a soft candle-like light.

Cable charging is also made possible for usage on cloudy or raining days.

The frames are available in two finishes, black-dyed with the bare stainless steel and satin-finished without paint.
The delicately ridged glass reflects the color of the base, creating different tones with the same colored glass.
