Ross Lovegrove's Solar Trees have been on tour in cities across Europe and make their next stop in Venice at the Biennale dell' Architettura.
Designed to resemble a bouquet of flowers, the petals are lined with LED bulbs and photovoltaic cells. During the day the flower absorbs energy to recharge a battery pack which illuminates the LED bulbs at dusk.
Arguably this is not a new idea, every year designers and design students pump out their version of this concept but it seems it's going to take the efforts of prominent design figure Lovegrove and heavyweight lighting manufacture Artemide to raise the public awareness.

Very pretty and imaginative.
Why aren't all street lamps like this? Oil companies truly rule the world.
