Mekanika : object dynamics
Co-founder of the Studio Biskt ceramics workshop, a project he coordinates with his partner Charlotte Gigan, designer Martin Duchêne has also co-founded Mekanika, a company that specialises in designing and manufacturing their tools as kits.
He told us the tale behind this adventure that is reshaping the way we create, manufacture and deliver these tools.
"For us, it was a question of transforming the industry by offering tools in the form of a kit on an open-source basis. Like open-source software, everything we design can be accessed online for free. This means that anyone who uses our tools (craftsmen, designers or mere tinkerers) can freely adapt the machine to their specific needs." Martin Duchêne, co-founder Mekanika
