The project

PINK BIONIC – smart backpack inspired by Solar Trees

Driven by the project "CHANGE - the next blue in fashion and in interior-/architecture Design", a smart backpack was equipped with organic photovoltaic modules. Integrating new technologies like OPV in fashion shows the easy connection of design and functionality in the future everyday life.

This solar backpack allows you to power any electronic equipment.

Inspired by the solar trees of the German Pavilion at the Expo 2015 in Milan, the design of the backpack seizes the solar cells' hexagonal structure. Small ARMOR solar power films (formerly OPVIUS) OPV modules were applied on the wearable to accumulate solar energy in order to charge electronic devices, like mobile phones.
