Laser-Printed Furniture?! Draw It in 2D then Build It in 3D Imagine any strange or amazing object, sketch it up in two dimensions, feed it into a computer program and watch the flat-pack pieces print out in real life. This may be the most revolutionary use of three-dimensional laser cutters yet conceived – a way to turn consumers into producers, turning an average amateur do-it-yourself furniture builder into the new Frank Gehry of furnishings. The advantage and disadvantage of laser-cutting machines is their naturally flat products: in most cases, they inevitably produce a 2D result. Fortunately, flat-pack cardboard, plywood and sheet metal designers have been figuring out ways for decades to make sturdy furniture objects that save on space and materials and start with fully flat parts. In theory, the software should also keep you from making serious structural errors – a short-cut strategy to teach you what most furniture makers take decades to learn and integrate into their design/build intuition.

PRAKTRIK | Puzzle furniture Twistab, our first product coming soon! Twistab es un proyecto de diseño abierto creado por Isaac Pierre en colaboración con Fablab Barcelona, Anastasia Pistofidou y Shashank Shrivastva. El proyecto se inicio a través un taller de autofabricación de mueble impartido por Fab Lab Barcelona en la primavera del 2013. Desde entonces ha crecido mucho. El prototipo Twistab es un taburete compuesto de 3 piezas de contrachapado de alta densidad de 18mm. que se monta sin necesidad de tornillos o herramientas. Los 3 primeros prototipos se han lacado en tres colores (rojo/amarillo/azul) dandole contundencia al acabado y ejemplificando la possibilidad de crear nuevas versiones al intercambiar piezas de distintos colores. Durante la primera fase hemos generado una maqueta (escala 1:10) para evaluar los aspectos técnicos y estéticos del diseño. “He querido crear un diseno que sea lo más simple y coherente posible; de crear un objeto que sea sobrio, funcional y interactivo.” bozeto del diseño original maqueta escala 1:10
Open Shop - Matt Batchelor – Engineer & Designer Open Shop is a mobile factory unit that gets young people excited about design and making by building their own skateboard. Working out of a mobile toolchest, the factory visits skateparks and a master craftsperson helps them create their own skateboard deck. In the process, the young people build their understanding of manufactured objects and develop the imagination, skills and persistence that they need to start to build themselves a successful life. Open Shop Mobile Factory Unit The mobile workstation contains everything needed to make a skateboard deck. Research Workshops Working with a group of young people at a youth centre in North London, skateboards were chosen as a product with which they were familiar and enjoyed using regularly. Why Make Things? A growing number of academics have started to press for a reappraisal of the value of craft in our education and economic system. The Open Shop Guild System Each deck takes around six hours at a cost of GBP40 per contact.

Our Project The Workshop in the City A place where everything sold has been manufactured on site. Our vision is to create a place where efficiency meets elegance. We have designed a new type of retail space around the idea of the open workshop. We have proven that purposeful design, logistics and technology enable a micro-manufacturing unit to produce at competitive costs, in the middle of the city. Designing an elegant Process We design our working environment with the same care as our products. Our drive comes from operating in a workshop open to the scrutiny of the public. Duplicating our Set Up Enabling other people to set up on their own. With our clients' support, we would like to develop our technology, and help other people to set up on their own. Local is Logical We believe that manufacturing at the point of sale makes business sense. Our streamlined process allows us to produce with no transport or warehousing costs, and without the risk of overstocking.
NEWCRAFT Auch die Mass Customization definiert sich in der Tat als handwerkliche Fertigung im Gegensatz zur industriellen Produktion. Doch ein Grundwiderspruch besteht hier nach wie vor in dem Versuch, nicht nur maßgeschneiderte sondern auch ästhetisch individualisierte Produkte massenweise zu produzieren. Dagegen kann man leicht sagen, dass individuelle Produkte auch individuell zu fertigen sein sollten. Doch 1995 kostete eine CNC-Fräse noch mehrere 100.000.- € und so etwas wie eine Maker Bewegung war noch lange nicht absehbar. Höchstens als ferne Vision, s. Nicht ganz von der Hand zu weisen war jedoch bereits die Frage, ob es nicht auch eine Nummer kleiner geht, als bei der Mass Customization? 1997 demonstrierte Newcraft in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Technologie-Zentrum Holzwirtschaft das neue Herstellungsverfahren auf der Interzum (der Internationalen Zubehör Messe in Köln) mit einem Schreibtisch, der direkt auf dem Messestand in nur 7 Min gefertigt und im Handumdrehen zusammengesteckt wurde.
Want a super flexible, gorgeous looking clothes organiser? | Adventures in Furniture Blog I like all the ingenious ways to organise storage on Pinterest but I don’t always have the time or materials at hand to create them. So when I found this really simple but very beautifully designed clothes storage unit from Denmark I immediately ordered it for the showrooms and also for myself. I have a small child’s room that requires some ingenious storage. Introducing the super space saving wardrobe, Tojbox! Really simple hanging storage It’s a wardrobe and shelf combination designed in a way that maximises organisation and cuts down on the space required for a full size wardrobe. Hallway & entry way storage We’ve found uses for it in the hallway as a hallway storage unit – hang coats and jackets on the rail and add baskets in the top ‘box’ gloves, hats, and umbrellas – even boots! Bedroom wardrobe In the bedroom the Tojbox works like a wardrobe for both hanging clothes and folded clothes but can also take bags or scarves on the end of the hanging pole. Open storage solution
IKEA Lab Releases Open-Source Plans for DIY Spherical Garden IKEA Lab Releases Open-Source Plans for DIY Spherical Garden 3 years ago Share FacebookTwitterPinterestWhatsappMail Or Fresh off winning the “Design of the Year” for their refugee housing solution, the “Better Shelter,” IKEA is again making waves for a pioneering, flat pack solution to societal needs. Designed for communities to affordably start their own urban gardens, the Growroom takes up only 2.8 x 2.5 meters of space, using a spherical shape that allows plants to receive ample light within a vertical setup. “It is designed to support our everyday sense of well being in the cities by creating a small oasis or ‘pause’-architecture in our high-paced societal scenery, and enables people to connect with nature as we smell and taste the abundance of herbs and plants,” Space10 explained in a Medium post.

Furnishing Utopia By Hancock Shaker Village Story posted by Leo Lei Furnishing Utopia, which we first spotted at Sight Unseen OFFSITE, is a minimalist collection created in collaboration by the Hancock Shaker Village and the Mt. Lebanon Shaker Museum with 12 renowned international designers. A week-long workshop was conducted at two preserved Shaker sites, allowing the designers to access an extensive archive of objects as well as engage in a dialogue with the museum’s curators. Often credited as the first minimalists, the Shakers and their furniture have inspired countless modernist and contemporary designers all over the world. Furnishing Utopia’s mission is to provide designers with direct exposure to original Shaker artifacts, and as a result, invited twelve designers from six countries to produce designs that translate the ingenuity and aesthetics of Shaker objects into modern forms.
