Take a gander at the latest roundup of Kickstarter and crowdfunding projects for Archinect's curated Kickstarter page! Here are our picks for May 2015:
20 years of neurotitan gallery in Haus Schwarzenberg, Berlin
Berlin's Haus Schwarzenberg is prepping to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their non-commercial urban art gallery NEUROTITAN with special exhibitions, performances, and festivals featuring a stellar line-up of contemporary artists. Haus Schwarzenberg is hoping to secure enough funding to ensure they can book all the artists to participate in the events.
Make Léonie Geisendorf's Villa Delin available for everyone!
The historic Villa Delin is on the market. Designed by Polish-born Swedish architect Léonie Geisendorf and built between 1966-1970, the house is a brutalist beauty in a well-to-do residential district in Djursholm, Sweden. Although this Kickstarter didn't work out, it opens up an alternative option of having the house preserved as a public museum that is accessible for everyone to admire.
Music of the Spheres is a collaborative art-science project that involves bubbles, bioinformatic technology, and music in an effort to produce the first music composition recorded onto DNA molecules. Sounds cool, huh?
The Nomad Chair is designer Sebastian Jorgensen's modern interpretation of the Roorkhee chair and Kaare Klint's Safari Chair. As a response to wasteful overproduction in the furniture industry, the Nomad Chair is a zero-waste option that has parts made of turned bamboo, which enable the chair to be light, portable, and easy to assemble.
Nuimo: Seamless Smart Home Interface
Designed by Senic, the nifty Nuimo is a universal controller that incorporates capacitive touch, gesture recognition, and a 360 degree analog ring, allowing users to control their devices with intuitive gestures. Following a successful Indiegogo campaign last December, the Nuimo Kickstarter surpassed its $61K goal with $195K, with 13 days to go.
There are plenty of solar lamps out there, but the SolarPuff has garnered lots of attention with its flatpack origami-folding design and lasting power. The light was first developed by Parsons design professor Alice Min Soo Chun for emergency relief following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The SolarPuff boasts 100 lumens and can fully charge in sunlight in 8 hours, enabling the lamp to provide 8-12 hours of light.
