Open design city market

OPEN DESIGN CITY MARKET

About:
In April this year the Betahaus opened their own ODC where you can create all the stuff you want, yourself. ODC-Citizens can show each other how tools work as in peer-to-peer education.

Creator:
Visitors and Betahaus

Rules/restrictions:
On the “Plastic Playground” they will provide you with enough stones to build everything from rabbits to bridges out of white plastic bricks. You can either buy the material and take your own creation home, set a price for your creation and sell it or buy an already built plastic bricks product at the Albinoplast stand. Furthermore Jay Cousins will show you in a workshop how to cook bioplastic and make your own lampshade out of your favorite vintage pullover.

Comment: Leuk dat ze er een open beurs voor hebbem gestyled, andere manier van shoppen. Je kan je eigen items samen stellen.

Sketch chair

SKETCHCHAIR

About:
SketchChair started as a collaboration between Greg Saul and the JST ERATO Igarashi Design UI Project in Tokyo. The initial iteration of the system found overwhelming interest from both the academic community as well as the general public, and was presented at several conferences and design events. SketchChair will be an open-source software tool that allows anyone to easily design and build their own digitally fabricated furniture.

Creator:
Visiter on website of Diatom

Rules/restrictions:
The SketchChair software allows anybody to take part in the process of designing and building their own chairs. The program lets users design chairs using a simple 2d drawing interface, automatically generating the structure of a chair and testing its stability. Users can simulate sitting on a chair with a customisable figure of themselves, in order to test and refine the chair to ensure it will comfortably support them.
The software automatically generates cutting profiles for the chairs, which can then be used to make physical SketchChairs. Using a cnc router, laser cutter or paper cutter, these parts can be cut from any suitable flat sheet material, and then easily assembled by hand.

Comment: looks awesome.
