Opendesk is a global platform for local making. It gathers a global network of makers and a collection of furniture by a range of international designers. Because that furniture is designed for digital fabrication, it can be downloaded as a digital file and made locally—on demand, anywhere in the world. The “Edie” stools used in this exhibition were designed by David and Joni Steiner and fabricated using this “open-making” process. If Enzo Mari were a hacker, he would also design furniture as software.
