The rise of the outdoor workstation
The theme of gardens becoming outdoor rooms is now old hat.Though it is surprising how long it has taken designers to bring workstations outdoors. At some level out=leisure.But a clever solar power table is sign of new thinking and changes to come:
seen in gizmo:
SunTable:
a photovoltaic solar-power generating table designed to juice up your
gadgets in an eco-friendly style. And now the table's available for
purchase. The stainless steel and teak production version charges up in
about four hours of bright sun exposure (there's a hinge so you can
angle it properly if you need to) and delivers about four hours of 12V
after that. It comes with a built-in inverter, so it has regular power
sockets that you can plug your gadgets into, and is designed to be
weatherproof, easy to disassemble and even recycle. That's about it:
it's a table with a solar generator built in... doesn't get much simpler than that! Oh—it does cost $2,200, so it's most likely to appeal to really rich eco-warriors
