Sunne Is a Solar Light That Captures the Colors of a Sunset

Years ago I lived in a small apartment with a westward facing bedroom where, more often than not, the late afternoon sky would explode into a candy-colored gradient of pinks, oranges, reds and purple hues just before the sun gave way to the evening. I never tired of the glorious daily spectacle, one I especially miss now living in a northeast facing home, where sunsets are a rumor barely glowing over the hillside rather than a daily event to behold. Sunne, an ambient light, reminds me greatly of those picturesque solar events.

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.
