Eco Factor: Lamp designed to harvest solar energy.

Designed by French architect and designer Stéphane Maupin, the Saint Clair lamp is a solar-powered lamp that was one of the winning entries for the VIA Project Assistance Grant. This sustainable lamp features an array of solar cells underneath its base.

The lamp can be attached to the windows via suction pads, where the solar cells face the sun and generate renewable energy. The energy is stored in an onboard battery, which is then used to provide illumination after dark. The lamp can also be left hanging to help illuminate a larger area of the room.
