Sunseeker is a mobile and modular solar-light chain developed by Studio Vantot. Its human-centered design promotes playfulness and participation in urban landscapes and encourages local curiosity toward sustainable energy resources. 

Seeking Less Waste
Sunseeker is built with a modular design principle, meaning each separate part is replaceable and mendable. This makes the fixtures environmentally and financially more friendly as only the broken pieces will have to be discarded, instead of the whole light, contributing to much less material waste and costing much less. The chain of lights is easily integrated into any urban setting, as they can be adjusted in length to fit the unique spatial dimensions required of each urban setting. The lights are also lightweight and easy to transport and install, making them low maintenance and effort.  

Seeking Solar Sustainability 
The Sunseeker promotes a shift towards sustainable energy on a city infrastructural and individual human level. The light installation provides an option for urban environments to invest in renewable energy while encouraging civilians’ curiosity and support through its innovative and interactive design. Equipped with very light and flexible solar panels, the fixtures not only collect and store energy for use later in the day but are also easily transported and installed. Their high-tech sensors also collect valuable data about how to optimize energy harvesting, allowing for better and smarter city planning decisions when installing future solar lighting.  

Seeking Local Networks
Informed by close conversations with residents of Eindhoven, and built by local craftsmen and talent, even the design and production process of Sunseeker is embedded in the regional networks of Eindhoven city. This adds a collaborative and social layer to the Sunseeker project’s merit and aligns it with Studio Vantot's vision of a better urban future.
