'VELUX sun tunnel' by ross lovegrove created in partnership with velux group integrates
round organic forms taken from nature into a new solar lamp. designed
for spaces where
installation of windows is not possible and where electrical light would
normally be the only
other option, the lamp captures sun rays and returns them with a
beautiful light reflectance
in the room. meanwhile, the diffuser allows for the adjustment of the
light direction.

super reflective coating
and telescopic tunnels made by MIRO-SILVER®. the lamp also provides more
than 98%
internal reflection rate.

not just an 'add on' product, the new solar lamp puts emphasis on the
fusion between
aesthetics and functionality. in the process of creation, lovegrove
wanted to realize a
product that created a 'moment of enlightenment' for users.
'VELUX sun tunnel' was on presentation at zona tortona during milan
design week 2010.
