SOLAR HYBRID
The goal is to have a small portable lamp, very versatile in its use.
It is magnetic, clinging, hanging, and is used everywhere, the expression of mobility for light.
It is recharged on its base by two solar panels but can also be connected to the mains, making it a real hybrid product .
Hybrid mainly because the amount of sunshine differs depending on the season and country.
Concept Design (Pool). Market launch in 2013.

Once upon a time, in far away country who’s name makes you dream, a marketing company needed street furniture and advertising panels to support its network. So it went in search of innovation.
The name of this company is KUC, whose chairman, Bashar Kiwan, won a tender in Kuwait in October 2010 and required the services of Prismaflex, a French manufacturer with whom we regularly collaborate. Prismaflex showed KUC a portfolio with many different designs. After much equivocation, they declined the offer, pretending the fees were too high. They had never the less chosen and focused on a specific design. Prismaflex, fairly, suggested that they could deal directly with the designer. With their agreement, we set up a collaboration system with KUC. Once the study phase was finished, our contact with Bashar Kiwan no longer worked for KUC and they proceeded to simply copy the various designs.
We thereafter never heard from them again… and the result is appalling, as far as quality and aesthetics are concerned.
Mr Kiwan is a thief and a storyteller. When he wrote in his CONCORD project « …respect, innovation and integrity are central to its operation… »
it is a joke and a funny sense of humour.
There is no conclusion or morale to this story but just wish to let it be known.
Who knows, it might be useful?
Eight months without writing. Eight months without any striking news…
Did anything happen which could have fueled a sudden urge to communicate about it?
Indeed, what can be said apart from the expected wailing which won’t allow us to go ahead…
On August 30th, an article by Guillaume Duval, editor of the French monthly magazine “Alternatives Economiques” said : « The economic situation does not stand any chance of getting back on its feet within the next few months. »
What does this mean : how do you get an economic situation “back on its feet”? How do you make an economy “recover”?
