Opendesk is a global platform for local making. You can use it to download, make and buy work space furniture.
Opendesk has a global network of makers and a collection of furniture by a range of international designers. Because that furniture is designed for digital fabrication, it can be downloaded as a digital file and made locally — on demand, anywhere in the world.
Great designs, easy to make yourself or get made locally. It's a doddle and the prices will make you smile :)
Really easy to navigate website, everything is clear and easy to understand. Some fantastic designs available as well.
Made the Fin Lockers, nice and easy and more than happy with the end product. Found a couple of anomalies in the downloaded file - nothing major but worth checking before cutting. CAD-1 dxf the six padlock clips at the top of the drawing need to be reversed or they won't line up with the doors correctly. CAD-2 dxf right hand side panel (second panel down in the drawing) the two pockets that accept the two internal shelves need to be lengthened near the front so that they are 10mm from the front like they are in the panel above it - not 16mm as they are in the drawing.
Good file and clear instructions
Innovative fun furniture you can have the satisfaction of making yourself or out sourcing to a local maker-such a cool idea!
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 without needing to contact a maker directly. Really love it!
All designs are free without needing to activate a trial or provide any financial information. Great designs for free is a win win for me
Excellent resource and designs, enabling great design with a DIY ethos to get very professional results at a good price.
We always get comments from clients on how great our open desks look when they visit. So so glad we had them made.
Decent. Will use again.
Easy to use and clear website with free designs to download and make for yourself.
amazing designs for reasonable prices or download it for free and cut yourself, great.
Open desk is such a great idea. There are great designs to browse and buy and then they help you find a maker of you can't do it yourself.
I love the openness of this furniture. I wish there was more bookshelves and slightly less office equipment though! The joints are super clever ;)
Interesting tech, but needs prices to come down
Great designs.
Very nice staff, always happy to help.
No had anything made yet, but will definitely consider Opendesk.
Great service from Opendesk. They put me in touch with a local maker and I'm deciding whether to proceed or not.

Nov 30,2022It's essentially false advertising (at the point of writing this review). I've checked their website for well over a year now, and they have permanently disabled their download feature ("down for maintenance") and instead trick you into signing up for their newsletter, which doesn't get you any closer to accessing the files. I'm sure they used to offer free downloads, but they don't anymore. But they sure enjoy the free traffic they get from dozens of websites sending them customers, who hope to get the free downloads. Oh, and website lacks SSL, it's unprofessional.
