Don’t do more, do better
In a market saturated with products with different styles and features, how do you stand out from the pack? Find the gaps and be disruptive!
In our market research, we've discovered that there are two opposite aesthetical directions - thematic or minimalist - and that there's a preconceived idea that solar lamps are thought out exclusively for exterior applications. Additionally, in most cases the materials and finishes convey a cheap mass-produced look, reflecting a concern for producing low-cost and easily disposable products, instead of creating a well-thought-out product that establishes an emotional bond with its user, making it long-lasting and increasing its life cycle.
For multiple scenarios, targeting different markets and users.

Bright idea with a smart twist
The GEM product line is designed to be experienced both on the exterior and interior, perceived as a piece of decoration or a smart product, depending on one's interpretation. The subtle sculpture on the center part provides a refined appearance, like a natural element such as an exquisite jewel, which hints at its functionality and improves the interaction with the user. The material choice and the design of the parts, which minimizes the number of joints, convey a quality appearance highlighted by the smooth feel gathered upon interacting with the product.
