October 20th, 2007 by sauceStimulated by the MAK in Vienna, Ross Lovegrove designed urban lighting fixtures to brighten up the Austrian neighbourhood. Solar Tree is a solar-powered lighting fixture for Vienna’s urban lighting based on a design by Ross Lovegrove, created on the initiative of Peter Noever. Produced by Artemide, the Solar Trees bring nature to the grey-ness of today’s urban environments.
The installation is realized through a collaboration between Sharp Solar, Artemide, Ross Lovegrove and MAK (Austrian Museum of Contemporary Art).
