Energy Efficient Lamp-Table – Firefly

July 1, 2010 by Dan

At first glance this might look like a ordinary glass table with a cool design, but there’s more to it than that. In the middle of the table there are solar panels. The table was meant to be an outdoor furniture for restaurants or homes, and is supposed to make use of the solar panel to store energy during the day. At night this table can be lit up, and the attached lamp can use the stored energy to lit up the area. This is Firefly.

There’s a push button located in the center which is pressed to turn the light on. So whenever it gets dark, just like a firefly the table can be made to glow with a ‘natural’ source of energy. In addition to this, the lamp can also be used to highlight a message, symbol or word at the bottom of the table, since it also has the provision of keeping a stencil beneath it. The Firefly has been designed by Vuk Dragovic.
