Whether that entails a small tweak or a much larger change, that is all up to the tastes of the potential customer.
Open Source Furniture by Philippe Starck has been made possible thanks to the efforts of TOG (also known as All Creators Together), a furniture brand and a creative community that seeks to combine the best of technology, humanity, and craftsmanship. They have provided an open source format by way of an interactive online app. From photos and beads to yarn and stickers, anything seems possible including color, patter and geometry.
