little garden by kristina moersdorf from germany
designer's own words:
"Little garden" intends to sensibilise small children that plants need constant attention. Here the flower pot has to be exposed to sunlight regularly.
As a reward the little fruit will shine for them in the night: In the figure's head is an LED lamp driven by the storage battery in the belly. The battery is energised by the flexible solar module wrapped around the pot when the figure is plugged in.
As soon as the figure is disconnected from the base it starts to shine and can be placed on the child's bedside table.
