Opening-up Project


https://www.opendesk.cc/ and  http://www.sketchchair.cc/

Are two websites, where you either design your desk or your own chair. But is it totally your own design?
I think the main design is from 'opendesk' or 'sketchchair' and that you as a user can adjust there main design and to create your own taste, but the base line will stay the same.



https:/https://www.fairphone.com/

A very interesting website for the people now a days. We all have a smart-phone, but how fair is your phone? Do you know where and how it has been made? Or better yet, from what kind of products it has been made?
On the website of fairphone they give a clear explanation of how they create and design a 'fairphone' and the most awsome part of this is, that you can buy your own 'Fairphone'

https://www.ponoko.com/

Ponoko is an 'Open Design' platform where you can find made products,blue prints and new designs.
But is this 'Ponoko' totally open?
For my opinion this website is not totally open. Why? Open Design for me is designs and idea's should be open for anyone. 'Ponoko'shares such idea's but on the other side, they sell designed products, idea's and even blue prints. Than is this 'Ponoko' still open?
