OpenDesk: a revolution in furniture design 

100 станков таких, а с них табуретки в икею по 599р)

like a BAWSE!!! 👍👍👍

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.

Yeah, the designer was easily going to make millions selling small plywood stools. Also, it's a free commercial and exposure. Nothing lost.

***** Dear, I spent 20 years as a furniture manufacturer. I could teach the class.

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.

that's right with machines doing the jobs, many people will be jobless and commit suicide.

Rancho Yanyak 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.

"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 😜
