Designers idan noyberg
and gal bulka have designed the ‘lightly’ clothespin, a sustainable
twist on an everyday item that lights up the cityscape in a sea of
vibrant colors.
By simply securing the cloth pegs to hanging garments on the street, an internal system autonomously shines at night.
Each
clasp has a small solar panel attached to the top of its clip, which
collects sunlight throughout the day. By dusk, a sensor supplies a tiny
battery pack with the cue to turn on, automatically illuminating the
LEDs in color. The intelligent twist on an ordinary household chore adds
a visual contribution to the streetscape while maintaining an
environmentally friendly design.
