Lights come on when the Sun goes down.















Solar-powered lights are rarely as beautiful as 'Morning Glory', by Wendy Legro. A graduating student at The Netherland's Design Academy of Eindhoven, Legro designed the project for her graduate thesis.









Her idea was that in the modern world, we've lost the pleasure of watching things grow and change--and inside our homes, artificial light is always competing with natural light. Morning Glory attempts to counteract that.




Intended to be hung near a window, the light is composed of a delicate structure that flowers, depending on lighting conditions. When it's bright outside, the lamp shrinks up, allowing sunlight to stream past. When it grows dark, the lamp eventually blooms in a snowflake pattern, revealing the LED's inside.

  1. I think lamp shade should choose glass for the best. As we all know, light become very hot when it is opened for a long time, if a lamp shade is made by cotton,fabric, it may easy burn. Unless the bulb you use is LED light.
    The advantage of glass lamp shade is that:1,you can have different design, 2, you can have different color,3, safe,4, price is low, but look beautiful, and can be luxury if your design is good!
