designer's own words:

Amalia, a sustainable urban water light. As candle light symbolizes romantics and atmosphere, this city luminaire is a floating candle on public waters, creating a magnificent, sparkling effect in outdoor spaces.
Amalia is a solar powered LED luminaire which combines esthetical, ambience with innovative and sustainable technology. This drop shaped object floats as an enlarged particle on millions of other water drops, a magnified detail. A floating attraction during the day, a sparkling candle during the night on lakes, rivers or in a swimming pool. Amalia utilizes the power of the sun to give light at night. The water ripples create shimmering reflexions on the water, caused by the luminaires’ glow.
The luminaire housing is translucent, completely sealed, waterproof and UV stable. It is an off grid luminaire with low maintenance. The object will always search for its upright position on the water due to the balancing weight on the bottom. The water object can be connected with an anchor to prevent them from drifting off.
This eco-friendly city light is transform the nightscape and also during daytimes an attractive object, bringing awareness towards water, its preciousness and its necessity for our environment. Water brings the city to life.
Amalia will twinkle in public spaces as an eye catching element in the urban environment.
