Miss Nightingale by Annet van Egmond

2019 Residence "VROUW MET EEN MISSIE"

Ontwerper ANNET VAN EGMOND, bekend van Brand van Egmond, heeft een missie. Ze wil de wereld LICHT BRENGEN en het laten schijnen op de natuur, die we met hand en tand moeten BESCHERMEN.

Je hebt een nieuw product gelanceerd, vertel. ‘Miss Nightingale is een duurzame, hightech luxe kandelaar die werkt op zonne-energie en geschikt is voor zowel binnen als buiten. Als sfeerlicht, maar bijvoorbeeld ook als leeslampje. Jarenlang heb ik samen met mijn ex-partner, onder het merk Brand van Egmond, lichtsculpturen gemaakt die letterlijk de hele wereld over gingen. Veel van de inspiratie voor deze werken kwam uit Afrika, waaraan ik mijn hart verloor. Nu wil ik iets terugdoen. Ik wil licht beschikbaar maken voor iedereen en het gesprek op gang brengen over hoe we omgaan met onze natuur. De zon is overal gratis, dus gebruik ik deze voortaan als energiebron voor de producten die ik ontwerp. En wat is een mooier archetype voor deze missie dan de klassieke kandelaar?’

Wat is er zo bijzonder aan jouw ontwerp? ‘Ik ben drie jaar bezig geweest met het ontwikkelen van deze kandelaar. Ik heb me nooit gerealiseerd dat er zo veel techniek bij zou komen kijken. Nog nooit heb ik zo veel tijd aan een ontwerp besteed. Het moest allemaal helemaal kloppen en in lijn zijn met mijn missie. Van de herkomst van de grondstoffen tot de toepasbaarheid. De kandelaar heeft vier bijzondere aspecten: zonnecellen om altijd en overal gratis op te kunnen laden, led-verlichting met vier verschillende sterktes, plastic gemaakt van gerecyclede kratten en smartware die is ontwikkeld met een team van Nederlandse ingenieurs. Het bijzondere hiervan is dat de lamp zichzelf oplaadt en wel zestig uur kan branden. Dat is voor iets op zonne-energie bijzonder lang. Ik ben in eerste instantie een kunstenaar, dus de research naar het technische aspect van dit product was voor mij heel andere koek. Van craft naar hightech, Philips in het klein. Maar dat heb ik toch maar mooi voor elkaar gekregen.’

What’s next? ‘Miss Nightingale is geschikt voor alle
omstandigheden. Gewoon in huis, ’s zomers in de tuin of op reis. Want de kaars kan losgeschroefd worden van de schotel en past dus in elke koffer. Nu moet ze de hele wereld over om licht te schijnen op de uitdagingen waar we voor staan: het behoud van de aarde en zuinig zijn met de natuur.’

Miss Nightingale by Annet van Egmond Jamaica

Jamaica welcomes Miss Nightingale, an idyllic location for Solar Design Technology and Sustainable living

Jamaica welcomes Miss Nightingale©,
an idyllic location for Solar Design Technology and Sustainable living

With an abundance of exotic beaches, restaurants, spars and hotels that include mesmerizing sunset landscape views, Jamaica is the ideal location for Solar Design Technology and Sustainable living.

Targets to increase the use of renewable energy up to 30 percent by 2030 can easily be achieved by implementing sustainable technology in the tourist industry and supporting campaigns for more investments to be made by the government and the private sector that ensure an affordable and environmentally conscious transition from non-renewable to renewable energy.

According to representatives in the field, Jamaica is highly confident that the country can meet and even exceed these expectations as it tackles demands for reducing the cost of supplying electricity to remote and congested areas across the country.

Miss Nightingale by Annet van Egmond Jamaica

It is estimated that Jamaica could save billions of dollars in the energy transition from fossil fuels such as coal, gas and petroleum to clean solar power and considering that much of its expenditure and income is surrounded by the leisure and tourist industry, these sectors have a huge responsibility towards reducing the social and environmental impact of tourism and curbing the effects of climate change by improving the natural life style and well being of Jamaican citizens.

Miss Nightingale by Annet van Egmond Jamaica

As part of a Miss Solar Light campaign for Nature and the empowerment of people with limited access to affordable electricity, Annet van Egmond (co-founder of Brand van Edmond lighting enterprise) has designed a Hi-Tech candle lamp in collaboration with WWF, that provides more than 60 hours of free solar light. This offers many lifestyle changing solutions for the increased environmental concerns and the effect that the consumption of energy from the tourist and hospitality industry is having on fair access and distribution of new sustainable technology that can improve the negative impact that the consumer industry is having on the local economy and environment.

Named after the iconic historical care-giver,
the Miss Nightingale lamp is the new line of solar lighting
that funds Nature conservation and provides
clean, safe and affordable in and outdoor lighting.

Miss Solar Light© by Annet van Egmond proudly presents MissNightingale© at Dutch Design Week 2018, Eindhoven

During this years event, the MissNightingale© lamps were proudly exhibited alongside other sustainable lifestyle products at Yksi – Next Way of Living, Cartoni Design and De Luytervelde restaurant.
Annet van Egmond also joined the Women in Tech Conference at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, to share new insight into the influence that Women are gaining in the field of Technology and Sustainable Design.


To preview the event, Annet van Egmond was invited for a presentation at het Hoofdkantoor, a popular design boutique in Bussum, where she told the story to an audience of influential female professionals and enthusiasts in sustainable design products, the journey of how she overcame obstacles in the manufacturing, engineering and product design process to bring her new Miss Nightingale lamps to the world.

This year, Dutch Design Week was especially focussed on Hi-tech, Sustainable products and materials. This was very beneficial for gaining exposure for the Miss Nightingale© lamps, that are produced using recyclable plastics and features solar charging technology with energy efficient LED with four modes of lighting for up to 60 hours.

There was also a lot of interest in the Miss Solar Light mission for Nature, where Annet van Egmond expanded on what motivated her new start-up which involved her shift from producing exclusive lighting sculptures for hi-profile clients from Rappers to Royalty, to more eco-friendly lighting that’s more accessible, sustainable and conscious of our social responsibility to our Planet.

A special highlight of the occasion was the first Women in Tech Conference at the Hi-tech University of Eindhoven, with an impressive attendance of 300 Women that included inspiring presentations by speakers who joined the VIP dinner where the discussion continued regarding the Miss Solar Light campaign, in co-operation with WWF, to use sales of the Miss Nightingale Lamp to fund Nature conservation at the Southern African Wildlife College as one of their Ambassadors.

In 2014, Annet van Egmond decided to influence her conscious way of approaching design into the light industry by turning to a free and accessible source of energy,… the Sun,…and an innovative ecological way to engineering solutions in the design process that are less harmful to Nature and our Planet.

Inspired by her passion for Wildlife and Nature, she created a new venture called Miss Solar Light© with Design, Nature, Sustainability and the empowerment of Women at the heart of her new brand and introduced an eco-friendly solar light succinctly entitled… Miss Nightingale©
