co MATTERS

co MATTERS is an open design system that empowers anyone, from curious beginner to experienced maker, to create, hack, adapt, and make. Rooted in Open Design principles, it allowed anyone to study, modify, or distribute the design product. This framework offers an alternative approach that fosters flexibility, inclusivity, and circularity.

Based on semi-finished materials and basic tools, the system invites users to design functional and versatile objects: furniture, tools, structures, or entirely new ideas. More than building things, it's about building possibilities. Each object is part of a larger ecosystem: it can be disassembled, reconfigured, redesigned, or transformed. Materials can be reused instead of discarded, extending their life and purpose. The system is accessible through an online platform, where users can explore resources, instructions, and shared designs. Designed for personal use, community workshops, or collective making spaces, it supports sustainable practices and creative freedom. It encourages participation and collaboration through open tools, shared knowledge, and accessible methods. co MATTERS invites everyone to shape their environment, together.
