Little Sun Diamond

Olafur Eliasson is an agent of change through creativity. The Berlin-based artist took to the Design Indaba Conference stage to share some of the insight he has gained during his career as a multidisciplinary artist.

The designer unveiled the first look at Little Sun Diamond, the latest part of a social business and global project founded by Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen with an aim to bring clean, reliable and affordable energy to 1.1 billion people.

“We mistakenly take our way of perceiving the world for granted as being natural. The way we see things, the way we engage things – it’s not natural, it’s cultural,” said Eliasson.
