- the MunNY exhibit 2010
This interactive web site was created to promote "the MunNY exhibit" 2010. This event was held as a part of New York Design Week and featured 23 different industrial designers/artists from NYC and their interpretations of KidRobot's vinyl toy, MUNNY. Each piece was auctioned to benefit the Robin Hood Foundation.
The concept was intended to provide a window into the world in which each designer finds inspiration, and then experience the output of that inspiration in the finished piece. What does the designer choose to surround themselves with? What is their own space like? What do they have to say about their approach to projects/this project? And finally, what was their execution for this unique exhibition?
Documentary videos and photos supplement the rich photographic content of the designer's studios and finished MUNNIES. Users can spin each MUNNY 360º, both with standard or 3D photography. Users can read each designer's artist statement, review their materials used, and download wallpapers of their favorite executions.
