Solar Blinds

Designed by Yoon-Hui Kim and Eun-Kyung Kim, the Solar Vertical Lamp takes a typical vertical blind and outfits it with special mini photovoltaic and LED pixels to create a new form of interior lighting.

By day the mini solar cells absorb energy from sunlight. However, at night "artfully placed lighting pixels (similar to those used on billboards) illuminate" to create a sustainable lighting system.
