From Oil Container to unique piece of furniture, It's Readymade project

:smiley: waiting for it.

and I don’t know the people behind the project, not sure how they are trying to reach people and customers, but may be it is better to market their product just as a cool hip furniture and find the people interested in their work in the wider market, not only the start up scene.
for example selling or showcasing one of their chairs at he fablab or a coworking space is good, but to sell more you can reach out the informal furniture market, find a trade-person who is interested in selling something new, see the feedback from the people regarding it as normal furniture, and start adapting to their needs.
I knew someone who was laser cutting some lightning units and using a cnc machine to produce all kind of stuff needed, he is not known in the start-up scene, and to be fair his products are not very artistic, but he was very successful and made lots of trade deals with sellers in El-attaba.
( the point is to look beyond the start-up scene, and to be sexy enough and fulfill a need to the furniture market in Egypt which is huge as the furniture is essential in the marriage system in Egypt :slight_smile: )

and invite them to the discussion or to the calls, may be we can fit something in the openvillage as we will be facing the question of furniture soon at the Reef- MENA ( check this out )
