Luce: A No Wires Required Laptop-pc

There are two ways of looking at this. First, drawing from Japan, we cannot ignore the reference in Andrea Ponti's work to the recent energy-related disaster in Fukushima. It is a stimulus to turn our attention to a concrete sustainable development in every day life.

Luce, "light" in Italian, is a solar panel powered laptop with a transparent finishing, which enables it to recharge continuously, during stand-by and use mode. The concept is that of creating wireless devices, self-powered and totally cable free. It is not by chance that Andrea was shortlisted in the the Fujitsu Design Competition 2011.

Second, we cannot help but thinking how incredibly handy it would be not to worry about clumsy cables anymore!
