Eco Factor: Solar-powered parasols in desirable looks.
Usually not very aesthetically pleasing, computer clothing does not appeal to many people. However, Elena Corchero, with her creativity, has made tedious green accessories look stunningly desirable. She has smartly blended technology into beautiful vintage fabric to create her “solar vintage” collection.
Corchero’s solar parasol is one such product from her collection that can be your stylish sun shield you would love to carry on your beach dates. The solar-powered parasol gathers energy from the sun when used outside, and when indoors it emits a lovely soft glow for a decorative display. Corchero has dexterously melded resistors, LEDs and solar cells into embellished fabrics in bright colors in her solar parasols, giving them an artful and desirable look.
The Dark Side:
The products designed by Elena Corchero are fantastic by all means. However, they are more of an artwork without much practical value, and there is little chance these splendid works of art will hit the shelves anytime soon.
