There is no doubt that technology has provided new experiences for purchasing products. If you used to go to a store to buy a table, bookcase or chair, today it is now possible to choose the model directly with the designer, to do of the project and assemble it in your own home. so are the furnishings open source, which has been gaining more and more prominence in Brazil. 3m4u4
the idea of furniture open source consists of maker (do-it-yourself) and in natural open, where, in a collaborative way, the customer pays for the manufacture of the product.
It works like this: you choose the model with the creator, the file (the furniture project) and send it to a CNC, a crimping machine that cuts wooden sheets through a digital file. With the parts in hand, it is enough to assemble the furniture without the need to use screws, depending on the item.
The site opendesk was the world's first platform for furniture production open source. In it, you can find chairs, benches, shelves, cabinets and coffee tables. s can the “layout” and make the wood cuts in a personal workshop or in FabLabs (digital fabrication labs).
The low cost, the recognition of the creator of the piece, the possibility of adjustment according to your taste and the appreciation of local suppliers are the main benefits of this modality. In an interview with showmetech, Denis Fuzii, founder of Studio dLux and representative of opendesk in Brazil, highlights these advantages:
“Today there is a tendency for products to be valued more for their process than for other aspects. Open source brings several benefits to the entire process chain formed. We released the file because we believe in this context as something social and for dissemination”
Deniz Fuzii, founder of Studio dLux and representative of Opendesk in Brazil.
The projects open source they can be ed by anyone and their modification/customization is also released, however, their commercial use is restricted. Each piece of furniture contains a patent to secure the designer's intellectual property rights.
In addition to furniture, shot sees that this culture can be extended to other sectors, showing how the current complexities open up a range of opportunities:
“Imagine a platform that not only shared open source furniture, but perhaps solar energy solutions, open source sewage treatment, that could be easily ed and adapted by every who had this need”
Deniz Fuzii, founder of Studio dLux and representative of Opendesk in Brazil.
Where does the term 'open source' come from? n1630
The term open source (open code, in free translation) is well known in the field of technology. It emerged in the 90s by developers of software, for sharing source codes for use, modification and redistribution.
With these codes, s began to study, copy and on to other people, thus generating a collaborative system. Ohood.discount is an example of an open source platform in technology, as its system is free and open.

In addition to Opendesk, which has around 30 pieces of furniture available for , the Brazilian website design library not only works with furniture open source, but also with objects to print in 3D, robotics projects, among others.
As for the cost, this is a detail that is at the discretion of the creator. There are those who charge for you to have access to the design of the piece and there are those who provide it for free.
Fuzii explains that, although Brazil is one of the countries that s the most Opendesk files in the world, there are still some points to be worked on. One of them has to do with the distrust of creators in making their work available to other people:
“We still feel that there is a certain fear of people sharing their creations, but I believe that this process changes according to the knowledge of the benefits it can bring to each one. Building together is much simpler than on your own.”

But not only that. Consumers must pay attention to the quality of the product. Wood and plywood are used for production. In Brazil, according to the region, the pieces may vary, so the project is no longer the way it was originally thought. This is because this material is not always of good quality. So, don't miss this point.

Denis Fuzii points out that there is a transformation in the country regarding this issue: for example, the number of FabsLabs in Brazil, and the philosophy maker is already encouraged within schools.
The furniture open source can be a great option for those who are in the process of setting up their first office, for those looking to renew their home office and coworking, that even the latter makes synergy with the culture of sharing.
And speaking of companies, some of them have already adopted this modality. The environmental organization Greenpeace owns an office in London where almost all the furniture is of open source. Fashion will catch on, won't it?
