Ever wonder where those cool design items on Kickstarter end up once they have received funding and go into production? In honor of NYCxDesign, the MoMA Design Store has announced that they will begin selling a selection of 20 items born of the crowd-funding platform this May, including a book to help you learn Chinese, smart chargers that preserve cell-phone batteries, and an Instagram photo projector.
Design Store director of merchandising, Emmanuel Platt, told Fast Company that "many of the most impressive, new, and innovative products we have been finding lately kept leading us back to Kickstarter." It will be interesting to see these products (by relatively unknown designers) sold alongside pieces by Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Issey Miyake, Charles and Ray Eames, and Milton Glaser.
The prices of the pieces are unknown, but you can check the Design Store between May 13 and June 16 for more information and to snag the products while they last.
