Small is Beautiful by Design: When Starck Rethinks Small Scale Windmills


On 8 December, Windeo signed a commercial agreement for the distribution in France and Benelux of the small scale windmill designed by Philippe Starck and manufactured by the Italian company PRAMAC. The small appliance is called "PRAMAC by Starck" and was presented at the Milan Design Week 2008: Green Energy Design.

It builds on the concept of "Democratic Ecology". Philippe Starck has been arguing for a long time for the democratisation of design, and now for the democratisation of renewable energy.

There will be two models available, from 400 to 1,000 W (1, 3 or 6 meter high). A first bench of the 1KW models were available for installation at so-called Clients Sites Pilotes on 8 December (EUR 7,500 before taxes). The picture above presents the 400W model.
