From the world of the Sun Jar

Invented to bring light where there is no electricity. Then it went around the world.

Built in South Africa in 2013 to replace candles and paraffin lamps. Today the Sonnenglas stands on balconies in Berlin, on beaches in Japan and in townships near Johannesburg. Bought millions of times — and still the same jar.

The light in the lid: SOMO

It sits inside. It comes out. It fits every Sonnenglas.

Solar cells, battery and light in one module: the SOMO charges in the sun by day and glows in your Sun Jar at night. Take it out and use it on its own – as a flashlight, in another Sonnenglas or under the Lightshade.

SOMO has been around since 2022 – and it also fits every older Sonnenglas, right back to the first one from 2013. Your jar stays; only the light gets new.

The story

The Sun Jar was invented to bring safe light to places without electricity — a replacement for candles and paraffin lamps. Today it glows on Berlin balconies just as it does in townships outside Johannesburg. Every Sun Jar is assembled by hand in our solar factory at Victoria Yards, creating real, fairly paid jobs. In the lid sits the modular SOMO solar light: it charges in the sun or via USB-C, runs up to 28 hours on a charge, and moves with you — into the Light Carafe, onto the Adventure Mount, or into whatever you dream up next. What goes inside the jar is up to you: flowers, shells, memories.
