The Starry Wander installation, Designed by Fabraft Design Lab, is a project that combines the symbol of both hope and eco-friendliness. Located in CMP Block Museum of Arts in Taichung City, Taiwan, this installation was a part of a Christmas celebration where visitors made wishes under the star-like lanterns above.

The eco-friendly aspect of this installation lays in the use of solar lanterns that absorb solar energy during the day in order to use it for lighting during the night hours. Also, abandoned tires with various colours were used as furniture material with a vantage aspect.

Visitors walking beneath the lanterns can sit on these tires and make wishes for themselves and others. Inspired from starlight, the lanterns are located at different heights to resemble the stars of different distances. To add to the positive spirit of the project, various activities were set on site to allow visitors to participate in the positive energy of the community and to also help charity associations in Taiwan.
