Collaborator Space Alive and Kicking

Update #9 · May 23, 2011 · comment

We've sent out login details to all our backers who selected the $20 Collaborator pledge reward!  We've been getting great feedback already and are working hard to get SketchChair up and running on everybody's computers.   A few chairs have already started appearing as well!

To anybody who made it to the Bay Area Maker Faire this weekend, you may have spotted an Antler chair or two!  Big thanks to Bill Young and ShopBot for offering to set this up for us!  We wished we could have been there in person!

We'd also like to mention a few other Kickstarter campaigns that are worth checking out!

Community Architecture Lab by Henry Miller

A non-profit studio that is teaching kids design and fabrication, with some nice designs on show as well!

Continuum: Computational Couture by Mary Huang & Jenna Fizel

A fashion collection that is also using digital fabrication to bring a design tool into the hands of end users.

Gypsy Modular: Reconfigurable Furniture by Clark Davis

A cnc-cut furniture line with the modularity and playfulness of legos.

Thanks again everybody,

Tiago and Greg.
