Litogami makes cardboard construction kits in France that quite literally set solar energy in motion or make it light up. The models are supplied flat-packed and combine construction, decoration and experimentation. The range includes Autogami vehicles that really drive and Casagami houses and other models fitted with solar-powered lighting.
Autogami
Autogami consists of cardboard vehicles fitted with a Powerbase. The solar panel charges the built-in battery, after which the electric motor drives the vehicle. The models can be assembled without glue and provide a clear, practical demonstration of how solar energy works.
Casagami
Casagami includes small cardboard buildings and other models fitted with a solar module and LED lighting. The familiar houses charge at a window during the day and provide light afterwards. The Greenhouse adds an experiment involving water and garden cress. The Lighthouse uses a battery-free module that flashes in daylight or under a lamp.
Why stock Litogami?
The kits combine a recognisable finished model with an accessible experiment involving solar energy. They are supplied flat-packed and stand out through their lightweight cardboard, familiar vehicle and building designs and working solar modules. According to Litogami, the brand uses recycled or recyclable paper and cardboard, LED lighting and production or assembly in France.
Litogami is available from Immenz to retailers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
