A new world is already here.

The team of Younicos, a sustainable energy storage and network company out of Germany, is working hard to provide us with energy products that are CO2-free and renewable. Please welcome Yill, a new mobile energy storage unit that fits into your workplace and was presented during MILAN design week 2011 in Zona Tortona.

No exposed cords or cables, floor poke through devices that act as a tripping hazard or the old fashioned "tombstone" power source when you can't afford to drill into the slab; with Yill, you can have an open and clean floor plate that allows you to move and power up anywhere. The mobility and effectiveness of this high tech storage unit lies in its design. Sources: Werner Aisslinger , Younicos. Public Art Concepts - Dan Sternof Beyer 2011.
