'sunny flower' by chinese designer fandi meng is a personal solar charging device.
it works by spreading the petals onto glass to absorb sunshine. once charged you can
harvest the power for your iphone or mp3 player.

'sunny flower' consists of a solar panel and storage battery, which can be stuck
on glass surfaces. when the storage battery is full, its indicator light will shine
to catch your attention.


in use at home


on the road


out in the wild


when its fully powered, the petals of the flower can be brought together into a compact stick which can charge
various mobile devices
