The Space10 innovation lab has teamed with open-source manufacturing platform Opendesk to create workspace attachments for IKEA's Delaktig system by Tom Dixon.
Created by a team of seven designers, the attachments turn the sofa bed into work furniture, potentially extending its product cycle.
Opendesk's add-ons include Delaktable, a desk designed by Joni Steiner and his brother David Steiner with legs and top made from recycled denim
Ranging from tabletops to integrated storage, dividers and cup-holders, the products are all composed of materials that have been locally sourced or recycled from waste. Table legs are made from jeans, coffee tables out of yogurt pots, and toolboxes of waste wool.
However, because the products are open-source, they can be manufactured around the world using any local and sustainable materials that are also CNC-machinable ? such as plywood, recycled plastics, pine, aluminium and recycled textile boards. The Tool Box by Josh Worley is mounted on small castors and designed to slot neatly underneath the Delaktig bed
"This collaboration between Space10 and Opendesk explores the brave new world of design and manufacturing," said Guillaume Charny-Brunet, director of innovation at Space10.
"While open-source design is still an emerging concept, the potential is enormous," he continued. "Instead of shipping physical products in large containers, we can send design as digital files to be downloaded, customised and made anywhere ...
