Italian multidisciplinary designer Stefano Merlo has fashioned a bucket, that when left out in the yard, collects not rain, not leaves, not bugs, but energy from the sun. Merlo brings the concept of storing natural energy to a visually feasible level by using the familiar form of a classic bucket. It's lid, surfaced with photovoltaic panels, collects sunlight to power a bright set of LEDs housed in the plastic bucket housing--a perfect backyard solution for al fresco mood lighting at nighttime.
