Opendesk Description
Locally made furniture for inspiring workplaces
Opendesk is your company’s go-to for beautifully designed, locally made furniture.
Through our network of local makers in cities worldwide, we’re able to kit out your workplace quickly, affordably and sustainably - all thanks to on-demand manufacturing.
Opendesk furniture is designed for inspiring workplaces, but it’s also designed to disrupt the traditional 20th century model of mass-production. Rather than shipping heavy pieces, we ship digital files, meaning our furniture can be made by independent craftspeople anywhere in the world.
By rethinking how goods are produced, Opendesk offers a more ethical supply chain that’s human, social and local.
In supporting emerging designers, empowering local makers and satisfying customers with flexible workplace furniture, everybody wins. And by building a platform that connects those three groups, a future of sustainable and distributed manufacturing becomes possible.
