The Lamp has 3 main components.
First: a textile surface, totally adaptable to each cultures textile tradition. The only condition is for the surface to be a weave. Each local group will determine the most suitable thread material, color and technic. As a result: a distinctive product, a representative space lighting type.
Second: a wooden box as frame and package. We encourage local carpenters to adapt the supply to native afforestation wood and tradition.
Third: a LED Strip mainly fueled by solar energy. We need your help to make the battery and panels as simple and cheap as possible, to ensure its implementation in communities with greater difficulties.
