Filson and Rohrbacher | AtFAB

AtFAB Digitally Manufactured Furniture AtFAB is a series of furniture objects that can be cut by a CNC router, laser cutter or water jet from any off-the-shelf sheet material. We didn't design AtFAB as the most perfect furniture, but rather designed it to be perfect for the most. You can fabricate AtFAB locally at hackerspaces or DIY storefronts like TechShop or you can find an independent fabricator through online networks like 100kGarages.com to do the work for you. http://www.filson-rohrbacher.com/atfab.html

Global Village Construction Set by Marcin Jakubowski

Open Source Ecology is a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters building the Global Village Construction Set - a modular, DIY, low-cost, open source, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts. The aim of the GVCS is to lower the barriers to entry into farming, building, and manufacturing. Its a life-size lego set that can create entire economies, whether in rural Missouri, where the project was founded, or in the developing world. So Far we’ve prototyped 8 of the 50 Machines and we’ve been expanding rapidly. We are 100% crowd-funded.
