3d Printed On Demand

3D printing enables Model No. to cost-effectively customize client projects, reduce production related waste by approximately 90%, and cut carbon emissions more than 50% compared to traditional furniture companies. The company's studio and micro-factory uses solar and wind powered energy, holds no inventory, and sources and ships domestically.

REGENERATIVE + BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS

Model No. has a series of its own bio-resins upcycled from plant waste, domestic FSC® Certified (FSC-C125400) or salvaged hardwoods and other non-toxic and sustainably certified materials that replace wasteful petroleum-based material, can biodegrade 100% in under 3 years, and are 100% recyclable.

Rethinking Furniturea Better Way

With a circular approach employing plant based materials and 3D printing, Model No. is rethinking furniture with its mission-driven architect and design collaborators who see our problem clearly: Building and turnover of commercial interiors generate well-over a third of the world’s CO2 emissions and produce an endless stream of waste.
