We have now set up a Pli facebook group with the intention of creating an open forum for product development inspired by Cameron Sinclairs talk on ‘open source design’ which can be viewed in a previous post. Social networking can be a very effective tool for connecting designers with end users and so we aim to create a space where everyone can share views and ideas on Pli’s products. This could involve what people like about what we’re doing and what they feel could be improved as well as discussing product development, choosing colours/finishes and coming up with concepts for completely new products. The move towards a more collaborative design approach where consumers aid decision making right the way through the product development process is yet another step to improving our products.

Please feel free to join our group and post any ideas or thoughts you have to kick off our new open forum design group. To start off we’d like to know what colour frame you’d like to see on the Reee Chair? Choose from any of these RAL Colours and we’ll render and upload a chair with your frame.
