“Phluò”
This phosphorescent lamp is a self-charging light source💡, resistant to harsh weather 🌧️, impact 💥, and vandalism 🚫. It can be made in just a few hours ⏱️, even by non-specialists, using easily available materials — which means it can also offer opportunities for social inclusion and empowerment among displaced communities.
It can of course be used individually or combined with others to illuminate larger areas.
✨ “As humanitarian needs constantly grow and resources shrink,” - reads the award motivation - the lamp combines innovation with essential cost efficiency, needed to implement on a large scale […]. The simple sustainable designs make them usable in the most difficult conditions (with very limited access to technology)”. Thanks to its modularity and durability, Phluò can be applied in housing, schools, emergency medical facilities, and outdoor pathways.
🌍 The “Phluò” project is an opportunity to explore a new form of low-cost, sustainable lighting with a real-world application - not just theoretical - bringing light where it’s needed!
We are proud to have developed this project first of all because of its ethical and social purpose and because it’s a highly sustainable - and sustainability also represents social responsibility! ✨
Lighting and design project: Marco Miglioli ArchiLight Studio & Sapiens Design Studio;
Client: international Rescue Committee;
Organisation: Wazoku, with the support of Airbel Impact Lab, Sea Freight Labs, Pledge 1%.
