Light Carafe

De l'eau le jour. De la lumière le soir.

Le concept

Une carafe pour la table — et quand le soleil se couche, elle devient une lampe. La lumière solaire SOMO loge dans le couvercle : elle se charge le jour et éclaire le soir. Deux tailles, quatre formes, un principe.

La Light Carafe est la sœur élégante de la lanterne solaire : une carafe en verre qui héberge la lampe solaire modulaire SOMO. Le jour, elle se charge à la fenêtre ou sur le balcon ; le soir, elle se tient sur la table — une lumière blanc chaud de 3000K, à intensité variable, assez claire pour lire, assez calme pour parler. Une soirée entière ne lui fait pas peur : jusqu'à 28 heures en intensité moyenne. Et comme chaque Sonnenglas, elle vient de notre fabrique Fair Trade de Victoria Yards, Johannesburg.

Social Impact by Design. Made in Africa.

From Waste to Elegance

The Sonnenglas® Light Carafe is hand-blown from 100% recycled glass collected by people in Eswatini. For many, collecting bottles is their only source of income.

Made in Africa

By hand, in Eswatini

Discarded bottles become molten glass. The furnace runs on used cooking oil.

It takes about a year of training to blow a Light Carafe.

Seven people, one Light Carafe: blowing, cutting, finishing.

Last step: SOMO on top.

Collecting bottles

Discarded beverage bottles serve as the raw material. For many people, collecting bottles is their only source of income. The Light Carafes are made from 100% recycled glass.

Recycling

The bottles are sorted, washed and shredded. The raw material is then melted down. The furnace runs on used cooking oil, and the electricity comes from the glassworks' own solar system.

Glassblowing in teamwork

Glassblowing combines hard physical labour and delicate craftsmanship. It takes about a year of training to make a Light Carafe. A single one passes through the hands of seven people: blowing, cutting, finishing.

Frequently asked questions

What's in the box?

The Light Carafe, a SOMO solar light (generation 6) and a cork. If you already own a generation 6 SOMO, for example from a Sun Jar, write to info@sonnenglas.net and we'll send the Light Carafe on its own.

How does it work?

The solar light sits on the Light Carafe as its lid. Line up the dot on the SOMO with the metal dot on the neck: the Light Carafe lights up, and the day/night sensor switches it on and off with the light. To switch off, turn the SOMO at least 2 cm away from the metal dot. Or use the button on the module itself, then without the automatic.

Is the Light Carafe dishwasher-safe?

Yes, on a gentle glass programme at max. 45 °C. The cork and the SOMO solar light of course stay out of the dishwasher.

Is the Light Carafe food-safe?

Yes. Every Light Carafe is made from 100% recycled packaging glass and is food-safe. The raw material is tested in the lab regularly.

Does the light warm the drink?

No. The SOMO's LEDs are so efficient that they produce no noticeable heat.
