By

Every week, we give team members at Indiegogo an opportunity to talk about the campaigns that have caught their attention. Here’s what we were talking about this week:

An/Product

Tentsile Suspended Tents

Location: London, United Kingdom

A terrific example of biomimicry (nature inspired design solutions) at work. The architect drew inspiration from the structure of spider webs and modeled this series of secure and portable tents! Interested in its possible disaster relief uses — and who wouldn’t want a tent hammock??

PHOTOVOICE IRAQ: Picturing Change

Location: Washington, D.C.

Very cool project bringing a voice to those in a war-torn country.

Carolina/Customer Happiness
