Opendesk

Opendesk was an initiative to produce furniture on the principles of Open Making, which stopped sharing their design files with the public at least since 2020.

[3] Opendesk was founded [4] by Ian Bennink, Tim Carrigan, James Arthur, Joni Steiner and Nick Ierodiaconou; the last three founders were part of Development 00, the creators of WikiHouse.

When the startup's sister office in New York City required furniture, it was decided to manufacture it locally rather than ship the completed product.

[6] At some point during or prior to 2020, OpenDesk stopped sharing their designs with the public, distancing themselves from the Open Making principles.

[2] Numerous users have requested OpenDesk to share their designs without success,[9][10] and the project is no longer considered an Open Making initiative.
