  • Love it, but it has pretty niche utility.

    It’s great for improving frest fruit/vegetable access in small urban communities, without massive transportation costs and preservative use.

    Also very cool for small, isolated environments like ocean voyages and space, where production space is severely limited.

    And extremely interesting from an ecological perspective when combined with a full circle microsystem, as in aquaculture.

    But overall, it remains wildly inefficient for large scale agriculture needs.




  • Do you remember how long ago you saw it? Everything I’m aware of for furniture disappeared or went for-profit years ago.

    Someone’s already mentioned Opendesk, which mysteriously cut off access to files with a “we’ll email everyone when they come back!”. Spoilers, they did not come back, its been nearly 5 years. Instead they started selling furniture by request and partnering with fabrication services. There are some others that were similar, AtFab, fabsie, opendesign (which I think was a wiki, so maybe that was the one posted?)… but none are still active and the websites/links are dead or replaced by something different using the name. You can still find designs on github though, and some on Pintrest, of all places.

    Here is one such repository of Opendesk’s designs: https://github.com/timrolls/Opendesk . Go forth and fab freely.
