Modular design culture / OS feature Saša J. Mächtig: Systems, Structures, Strategies Edited by: Maja Vardjan According to prominent Slovenian architect Saša J. Mächtig urban space should be furnished with open systems of flexible structures to create active areas that facilitate daily rituals, exchange of information and the participation of all. OpenStructures is featured within a publication that reflects Mächtig’s systemic thought, interdisciplinary work, concept designs and end products, such as his Kiosk K67, while showcasing the process of creation, extensive research, testing in public space and marketing campaigns.

Baguette studio from Paris developed a desk lamp (A.1052) that is infinitely remoldable / recyclable thanks to its 100% natural wax composition. All lamps are rendered OS compatible through its metal base which is designed according to the OS grid.  Full wax lamp series currently available on our webshop. @baguettestudio_ #openstructures #openmodular #opensourcedesign #circulardesign #designforreuse

V3.3 + V7.3 Chairs by Studio Sander Wassink - now on show at our OS ProjectRoom. V.3.3 and V7.3 are OpenStructures compatible and belong to an ongoing series in which Wassink collaborated with a wide network - from industrial manufacturers and artisans to designers, architects, and everyday makers. At its core is a modular system of engineered aluminium components, that are compatible with the OpenStructures grid and connect diverse materials into one structure. Rather than producing identical outcomes, the system allows for interpretation. Each chair reflects its local context, while retaining a shared identity. It also facilitates re-use of limited materials and changing batches of available material stocks. Studio Sander Wassink is based in Japan, while the OS compatible modules of this concept are produced locally in Belgium and were launched recently at the OpenStructure ProjectRoom. Contact us, if you’re interested in testing them.
