REQUEST: A wiki on open source furniture (lemmy.ml)

I remember seeing a wiki awhile ago (possibly on the r/solarpunk subreddit?) that was dedicated to providing people with open source furniture. Primarily they used a laser cutter and cheap plywood for ease of use. The end goal was to create public spaces that were easy to set up in the communities. For the life of me I can't find the original wiki! I'd love to rediscover it as I'm moving and will finally be able to work on some of the projects. Does anyone know the website that I am talking about?

It wasn’t opendesk unfortunately. I saw it maybe a year ago and I just remembered it recently.

I think it was run by a nonprofit (or maybe it was some kind of company, idk) that I think both did planning for communities officially and provided the resources to do it on your own. Their wiki had multiple different sections, such as furniture, bus stops, beergardens, farmers markets, and more.

I want to say it got started in Portland but that could be a fever dream :/

Ooh, beergarden is very specific - perfect search term! Is "Wikiblock" the one?

Holy shit you found it! Thank you so much! I swear I searched every combination of beer garden but I couldn’t find it myself!

lol, I guess I got lucky! "open source furniture beer garden" brought it right up on duckduckgo 😄

this really is a wonderful project, thanks for tuning me into it!
