funnel by elias magallanes talamas eli from mexico
designer's own words:
Technology and esthetic does not have to crash with ecology… there is today lots of materials and technologies that can make the world better. The idea of “funnel” is to show –with an esthetic, curve, and slim line- how mankind can use the power of the sun. is like when we ran out of gas… we use a funnel to poor it into the car, it happens the same with this urban light that can be use everywhere: during the day the top of the lamp cover with solar panels, captures the energy of the sun and put it into batteries, and automatically when gets dark, this saved energy transforms into light, that happens to be guide to the front, illuminating when it is important to illuminate, and not the pole, like a lot of urban lights does it.
