Ikea 2.0: Download Design
Posted by Budnews · Oct 3, 2016

There’s a great project in Hungary you must know: Download Design. Long story short: you can download the blueprints of baby furniture and make them yourself.

The Download Design Project is one of the coolest things we know. Hungary’s first open design furniture initiative offers complimentary manufacturing drawings for its 13 pieces of furniture with the purpose of promote the spirit of open design by allowing users access freely downloadable manufacturing drawings and working designs for design furniture. This solution is affordable and easy to build for everyone.

In general, open design projects shift the emphasis from consumption to sharing, as their conviction is that true well-being is to be achieved through cooperation instead of consumption. That is why open design’s motto is accessibility, rather than inexpensiveness. The Download Design Project also intends to make something—design furniture (manufacturing drawings) in this case—accessible to as many people as possible, democratizing the distribution and attainability of know-how, assets and resources, as it were.

While in 2015 the theme was first independent homes, this year designers focused on the arrival of the first baby, and that is why the Project’s current title became Download Design Baby. In 2016 they created 11 pieces of furniture for the baby room, specifically with the 0–3 age group in mind. The designer pieces tend to combine multiple functions, and include a cradle, a baby bed, a high chair, a wagon, a toy and even a climbing frame.

See furniture here, and if you feel at least a bit of strength in yourself, try to make one of it. You really don’t need too much thing to do so.
