ENERGY BUCKET

-

Nowadays, to save energy is one of the most pressing problem. This is already possible with the
actual technology, such as low consumption led lights and solar panels; but actual products seem
to be too far from people’s uses and overall they require not so much interaction to aware people
about the problem.
Energy Bucket is an innovative product that comes from the habit of the past to collect potable
water at the well using buckets. In fact, “Energy Bucket” requires to be exposed by the user under
the solar light to recharge (thanks to the solar panels on top), so that it can be carried anywhere
and illuminate once night (it works with Wide Beam Superbright LEDs housed on the plastic
bucket).
A honest exchange between man and nature: I do something to have something back, clean light!

2008 - The project has been presented in germany at the international furniture fair ‘imm cologne’
from january 14th to 18th, in the annual Design Spotter exhibition.
2007 - The project had its world premiere in korea, at the Gwangju Biennial in early
october 2007.
