Solar power usually shows up as something big and remote, panels on roofs, fields of photovoltaics, or chunky outdoor lanterns that live on balconies. Very little of it feels like part of everyday indoor life. Nomad is a portable solar lamp that tries to shrink that idea down to the scale of a desk or bedside table, making daylight into a small daily habit instead of infrastructure you install and forget about.
Nomad is a portable solar lamp charged indoors by natural light, with a symmetrical shape understood like an hourglass. Turning the lamp over switches between two modes, solar charging and ambient lighting, and this flip is the only real interaction. The lamp becomes its own panel and its own shade, depending on which disc is facing up, so the ritual of using it is also the ritual of charging it.
Designers: Moritz Walter, Michelle Muller
In charging mode, the solar panel disc faces upward, and the lamp stands on its light-emitting base, soaking up whatever daylight the room offers. In lighting mode, you flip it so the light disc faces up and the panel becomes the base. There is no separate switch; the act of turning the object over is how you decide whether you are storing light or spending it, which makes the interaction feel almost automatic after a few days.
The subtle LED display on the side of the column is a vertical row of dots that visualizes the light quality in a room. In charging mode, more or brighter LEDs mean better solar potential. This invites you to move the lamp around, onto a windowsill, a stack of books, or a shelf, and see where it charges fastest. Over time, you build a mental map of where your home is secretly good at catching sun.
The visual language is a matte-finished column and two discs in muted colors like light grey and deep blue, with the solar panel flush in one disc and a warm, diffuse light in the other. The lamp looks more like a small side table or plinth than a gadget, which matters if it is going to live in a living room. The tech is present but quiet, so it can sit on books or a credenza without shouting solar device.
Nomad is an autonomous object that draws on solar energy, a freely available, sustainable resource, and makes it usable on a small scale for indoor use. It is not trying to power your house; it is trying to power itself. That autonomy means you can have a pool of warm light in the evening that owes nothing to the grid, just to where you left the lamp during the day and how well the sun reached it.
Nomad quietly reframes daylight from background condition to something you can actively harvest and read. Instead of an app full of charts, you get a lamp you flip and carry, and a line of LEDs that tell you when you have found a good spot. It is a small, almost toy-like way of making solar feel tangible indoors, turning the light already in your home into a resource you can actually use instead of just measuring it on a weather app.
