I.D. Magazine gave Fuseproject and lead designer Y'ves Behar and honorable mention with their MINI Aid Tent recently. As some of you may know Y'ves is the designer of the MINI_motion line of accessories as well as being one of the most sought after designers in the world. Here's more about the MINI Aid Tent:
“The aid tent encourages the urban driver to take to the streets-or beyond-and serve those in need,” according to the mnission statement by the design firm fuseproject. The car and it's extended enviroment could work as a soup kitchen, blood bank, or emergency medical center. Jurors like the notion that equipment developed for high-end camping-in this case, a tent deployed out of the car's truck-could so easily lend itself to a charitable purpose. “Here is a socially driven idea brought to something not traditionally associated with that,” said Scholssberg. “It's social design on top of product design.”
