Make Works Extension

Created together with Make Works and the Redistributed Manufacturing team at RCA this browser plugin for Chrome and Firefox suggests alternatives to purchasing an item new.

As you browse IKEA.com, various characteristics about the product are extracted from the page. The type of item, its color, its material, and other properties are used to query other websites and services and return results that offer alternatives to purchase, and promote resources related to redistributed manufacturing.

“Production by the masses, instead of mass production.”
—E.F Schumacher
