Interesting tech, but needs prices to come down
Really great designs to download for free, as well as a simple managed process for connecting with a local maker. This seems to have been made even easier in recent months, with pricing displayed with... See more

Brilliant brilliant brilliant
I can't recommend Opendesk enough. Who wouldn't want an alternative to Ikea that is quality furniture, brilliant designs, and gives work to local makers? Win/ win/ win.

Very good, ethical company, lovely range of designs, perfect for something unique.
If you want to make a desk, but want something a step up from Ikea in finish and customisability, and indeed something a little less mainstream, then look no further.

A very innovative firm
I have nothing but respect for a company who designs this sort of furniture, and who are willing to share it on the terms they do.

Good open source desk plans
You'll need to be a DIY expert, or know someone who is, to make one of these but they are well thought out desk designs. Easy to download the plans, and they don't spam you constantly afterwards :)

Working never looked so good
Our office is kitted out with beautiful pieces from Opendesk, including our stunning storage system. We love the idea that each piece was made just for us, and that we know exactly where each desk was made. Reducing our carbon footprint as well as supporting the open source community made Opendesk the killer combination of design and ethics.

Great site for beautiful furniture
I really like the ideas that are given to Opendesk. It feels like a community that makes the designs accessible to everyone if you have the imagination to implement the designs.
Highly recommended.
