V0.1 / PROTOTYPE
Build, rebuild, and reconfigure with the materials already around you.
Open Assembly Co. helps users turn reclaimed wood, old furniture parts, offcuts, and leftover materials into adaptable furniture using 3D-printed joinery nodes. Instead of standardising the material, the system adapts the connection.
