Solight Design develops and distributes solar-powered lighting and charging solutions that use origami-inspired design to be lightweight, compact, and self-inflating. The company aims to provide light and power anywhere, appealing to design-minded consumers, outdoor enthusiasts, and environmentally conscious shoppers, while also delivering illumination to people in areas with limited access to electricity. Its offerings emphasize portable solar technology and sustainable use, combining everyday practicality with thoughtful form.

Based in New York City, Solight Design was founded by Alice Min-Soo Chun, a professor of Design and Material Culture at Parsons. She developed the first solar inflatable light prototype in 2009, and after the 2010 Haiti earthquake converted a Columbia University lab into an innovation studio that produced the Solarpuff. The company received the USPTO Patents for Humanity Award in 2018 for its humanitarian-oriented solar innovations. In October 2022, Solight Design announced the hire of Delaney.
