The weekend from 24th to 26th august in Biarritz wasn’t only the weekend dedicatedto G7. During thoes 3 days, this french city which is situated in the departament of Alpine Pyrenees, in the region New Aquitaine, became the capital of the solar energie.
Thanks to the Engie company (the developer of renovable energies), the patron of the summit, for ZANO it was a big opportunity to show the products of the new line SMART CITY. We were asked to prepare solar benches and stations for G7 summit.
In the age of new technology, where ecology and sustainable development are on the centre of attention, the designers are standing up to the new challenges. The sources of renewable energy are becoming much more popular than they were a couple of years earlier. Back to then, it was connected with big winds and solar farms or the companies which could afford green energy. The main reason were the high prices of the technology equipment which was necessary to construct the elements and machines which generate this energy. Nowadays, we can see the tendency of the prices of solar panels declining in the last 40 years.
Soon, on 7-8 November 2018 will be an opportunity to see our products exhibited at the “Public Space Innovation” show in Birmingham, UK. We invite everyone interested to visit our exhibition stand, where our representative will be happy to present our offer.
In order to take part in the fair you need to download a ticket and register on the event’s website: http://publicspaceinnovationshow.co.uk/

Site furnishings surround us and they partially create our everyday life. Modern lifestyle often requires from us to live faster,and that is why sometimes we pass by astonishing examples of street furnitures.

During a stroll around Kraków, tourists and citizens can stumble upon our projects. Located in a Museum of Municipal Engineering in Kraków Mimesis benches add unique identity to that place.
Benches without backrest, made of stylish wood and durable metal perfectly fit to that space. Without them, Museum’s squares would seem much more empty and uncompleted.
