- OpenDesk: a revolution in furniture design
Subscribe to the Guardian HERE: bitly.com/UvkFpD
OpenDesk is an open design project from up and coming designer Nick Ierodiaconou. The project unites furniture buyers with a network of local makers. Pieces are available with four different degrees of completion - from plans to flatpack and ready to assemble - according to price and ability to fabricate. Initiatives like OpenDesk (and others such as Fabhub) are quietly transforming furniture design with endless options, stealth localism and a remixed DIY spirit

As an actual furniture maker I am very happy reading the comment section
Love the process! The result is great and achievable in any local cnc company.
"The verbal wankery is strong in this one"
Great ideas.thanks

OpenDesk

Stool Designer. I had no idea such a profession existed.
Love it! What a cute stool.
Can we get the dxf file for this stool design
... вот молодец! конгениальность! с помощью координатного фрезера и компа произвел на свет божий - ТАБУРЕТОЧКУ!
Так смотри и до прищепки дело дойдет. Мы все затаив дыхание ожидаем. Браво маэстро! Браво!
100 станков таких, а с них табуретки в икею по 599р)

Amazing ideas.

One of the trends in the world of furniture which has gained significant traction in the year 2014 is that of merging the indoors and the outdoors. Many living rooms now have the furniture and other interior decoration items laid out in such a manner that the indoors resemble the outdoors.
I'll just craft build beautiful pieces in my basement with driftwood and fallen trees from my area and profit spiritually and financially from my community thanks.
like a BAWSE!!! 👍👍👍
Wow wow wow.... I think u create furniture from the air material
Interesting
awesome
wow awesome idea!
👍💓!!!
The words: furniture and anarchist in the same sentence!
The last question was dumb. Subvert? Really? That's definitely what I was thinking about when wanting to purchase a CNC, it wasn't about making a living at all. 🙄
Yes, because we desperately need wooden eyeglasses.
cooool
I don't get the logic behind this concept. Designers submit their original designs without getting paid...then fab shops download, make, and sell the product for profit??
Who in their right mind would spend time on a design and give it away for free so others can profit? This is absurd.
You can use specified creative commons licences to prevent someone making profit with your designs. Nearly all Open Design websites work this way.
The biggest benefit for a designer is that he or she can put out their own designs like they were suppose to look like, without all the limitations given by a client. It's like a connection between the designer and the user without owning an actual company, build expensive prototypes or invest in specialized tooling for manufacturing. Of course you can't make millions by giving away your designs for free, but at the end of the day, people are using your products, they can edit it to their needs and happy users will most likely support you when you're actually starting a company one day. It's like what every youtuber is doing nowadays.
Right now the tools to create an open designed products are limited: CNC, 3D printing, laser cutting. But not your whole product has to open. Parts which are big and don't require difficult manufacturing techniques ( most likely in furniture design) can be made locally in better quality and they will save shipping costs.
Lol if your phone runs Android, it's based on open-source software. Welcome to the future of economy, everyone working to improve everyone else's lives.
@@WhenDoesTheVideoActuallyStart Is your Android phone free?
Yeah, the designer was easily going to make millions selling small plywood stools. Also, it's a free commercial and exposure. Nothing lost.
fantastic advertising
Handsome. !
It's interesting spin on existing technology though this is hardly new let alone revolutionary.

Dear, I spent 20 years as a furniture manufacturer. I could teach the class.
saweet....
Back off on the head shots! We don't need to see every pore on his face. You wouldn't stand that close in person, so why make the viewer suffer such proximity?

Darned furniture anarchists. I'm not letting em in too my house, and that's for sure.
Revolution!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waffle,waffle,waffle...IKEA were mentioned..that's about right.
LOOOOOOOOL, "a _revolution_ in furniture design", really, those people are way too high on dope. They revolutionize nothing, maybe our ass, turning it flatter, they just spread awful industrial cheap designs. Unless people wanna go back to childhood, with the same kind of furnitures for kindergardens. That's a big regression in _design_ , not a _revolution_ . Replacing the low costs from mass production by individual making through CNC democratization isn't a revolution but a big and juicy market for materials suppliers. This is the modern trend : moving the costs directly to the customer hands. You finally pay more, for less service and you think you won.
CNC crafted by your local CNC shop hahahahaha this is a regression in design, since 1600 people are doing better design, possible to craft with a few simple tools in a fraction of a day, specially if it is a dumb flat stool, you dont need anything above stone age to achieve it quick. Regression in design, what is happening?
We have a broken economy and people can't afford true craft anymore. Mass production has driven costs down so much nobody can afford quality products anymore. We live in the age of cheap disposables.

Nooooo! Please stop killing the fine furniture industry even more with cheap cnc crap, not more robots...
that's right with machines doing the jobs, many people will be jobless and commit suicide.

Machines have pretty much already taken over woodworking and it is extremely hard for a woodworker to make ends meat any more. But still, Something that allows people to design their own furniture might take away a large portion of the already tiny market for actual woodworkers too, as big part of the reason people go to woodworkers is custom furniture. Chances are a woodworkers work will still be far superior but not everyone will notice or even care for the first few years until their own designs fail. Anything that takes jobs away from people passionate about a craft and put's jobs in overseas sweatshops with even more underpaid employees is a bad thing.
You can't stop progress. If you don't like it, take it up with the people who control and profit from everything you need to live, and ask why they're not open source yet.
Shallow trends, buzzwords and hype. Nothing real to see here folks. Move along.
I dont want to live in this planet anymore
Defiantly on drugs, wtf are they on about?
I'm not at a fan of these young hippy, millennial "designers" sitting on their high horses with their poshboy accents and hipster nonsenses clicking away at a few buttons and making 2 year old stool samples. Musing over what new trending political ideologies they are worthy enough to represent.
You can never beat hand worked wood. I prefer to see real wood, work with real wood and touch hand tools. It is better. If you have any appreciation for design, wood and resources you will feel the same.
"clicking away at a few buttons" - if CAD is that easy, why don't you do it?
Saying “you can never beat hand worked wood” kind of reminds me of my generation complaining on new technologies and internet nowadays, like kids are not playing ball anymore, internet is ruining social lives...when actually, new technologies provided us more options to practice that social life on more levels (initial level is still there) and made our lives so easier and the world so small and reachable. Is it just we can’t accept something that we haven’t grew with? Are we just like our parents and grandparents saying things like “it was better in our time”? I say stop complaining and exploit all amazing possibilities that new age has to offer. We can always go backwards, or choose what we prefer from the all wonderful choices provided.
Chair design is typical retro that is popular for the past years. And yes, they are “poshing” it all the way trough, but don’t underestimate the power of cnc 😜
