Ten years ago, Olafur Eliasson and Frederik Ottesen began to investigate how to harvest the power of the sun. Confounded by the unequal distribution of global energy, they wondered if it would be possible to use solar power to increase universal access to energy.
The output was a small, portable solar lamp that has helped bring light to millions of people worldwide. The Little Sun solar lamp, based on the Ethiopian Adey Abeba flower that symbolizes positivity and beauty, communicates a message of hope. Most importantly, it allows people to hold the power of the sun in their hands.
