The most recent advancements in solar energy generating technology have enabled designers to think about new means to integrate photovoltaic panels in everything possible. We’ve seen a variety of unique products making use of thin-film photovoltaic panels and working on the same lines a Turkish company, called Hanmak, has come up with Foton – illuminating furniture harvesting the goodness of the sun.

The main purpose of this unique furniture is to create awareness about renewable energy harvesting systems. The furniture is embedded with LED lighting system that runs on solar and wind energy stored in an onboard battery. The furniture itself is made using high quality and durable materials, making it ideal for both commercial and home use.
