Sneak Peek: Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry 2011 Smart Home
If you're in Chicago, IL, for Earth Day, you'd be well served to spend the day at the Museum of Science and Industry touring the 2011 Smart Home: Green + Wired exhibit. Located on the museum's grounds, the fully-functioning, three-story modular home has been redesigned with help from Chicago interior furnishing store Scout and tech partner Gizmodo.
If you want a sneak peek of the house, or, like me, unfortunately too far away to visit in person, I've got some great photos to share with you. Take a look at how the 2011 Smart Home uses unique pieces reused and repurposed in remarkable ways, including laboratory cabinets from the University of Chicago and Knoll chairs reupholstered in a cobalt blue fabric made from recycled car tires.
Live in Chicago? You can visit the 2011 Smart Home: Green + Wired in person starting tomorrow.
