Current Table is a new kind of energy source within the home or office. Its integrated solar cells use the property of colour to create an electrical current, just like photosynthesis.
The dye-sensitised solar cells also work efficiently under diffuse light — effectively making it the first piece of furniture to harvest energy indoors.
With no cables, Current Table is self-sufficient and can be used to charge your devices. It is intelligent too and shows how it works best: through an app you read light intensity and how much energy has been stored.
Made possible by stichting DOEN and Innovate UK.
