Smart, sustainable and solar-powered urban furniture


These beautiful urban furniture pieces provide much more than just a nice place to sit. They also double as recharging stations. Created by Hungarian design studio Hello Wood, the wooden spaces are equipped with solar panels and USB sockets to help the connected generation's electrical devices stay charged. They're ideal for use in parks, at bus stations, schools and shopping areas.

In addition to providing comfort and collecting renewable energy, the outdoor installations are also sustainable. The wood came from responsibly managed forests, while the shock-resistant solar panels were manufactured using recycled plastic waste. They have already been installed at several schools in Budapest, where they also serve as a community spaces.
