The Solar Trees in Vienna, At The MAK Museum
Posted October 4th, 2007 by Alex Ion
British designer Ross Lovegrove is in charge with creating the solar trees in Vienna in front of the MAK Museum, which will be inaugurated on October 8th at 20:30. The trees will be a color spot in a grey urban environment that will attract anyone passing by and will make us aware of the greener future we need.Ross Lovegrove worked with Artemide an Italian lightning company and Sharp Solar to develop his solar trees, in order to have them done before the Vienna Design Week event starts on October 8th. Though I enjoy the pictures very much I can’t help to ask what’s the time frame to produce a tree, what is the price and who will offer maintenance, because it could get damaged by cars for example. What do you think?
