Solar Canopy for the Brooklyn Roasting Company Coffee Cart

Pvilion paired with Brooklyn Roasting to construct environmentally-conscious mobile coffee stations.

The coffee carts were made from both recycled and sustainable materials; the wooden frames were built from reclaimed basketball courts, and coffee is kept either iced or hot by Pvilion’s solar technology.

A four-point fabric tensile canopy equipped with a solar array stretches over the top of the cart, generating electricity and providing shade. The first cart was placed in the Brooklyn bridge park, near Deborah Kass’ yellow sculpture “YO/OY”.
