Distributed manufacture of a neighborhood bench
Presentation at the launch of the documentary Remix ta chaise
In 2021, Montréal joined the Fab City movement, a commitment to relocate everything we consume locally by 2054. The District Central is gearing up for an emblematic, long-term change. Landscaping, greening, sustainable development that will enable us to move from an industrial sector to a green business district. This combination has led us to prototype the Fab City in the District Central. We’re sharing a public bench project from the Remix ta chaise initiative, at the Fab City Campus of 2021, circular economy and distributed manufacturing between several District Central actors.
The project stakeholders :
Annie Ferlatte, Rino Coté, Francois Auclair : from échofab, the Fab Lab de Communautique
Alain Martel from Tak Design
Colin Miquet and his team from Bois Urbain
André DesRochers from André DesRochers ébéniste
Michel Ferlatte – Hobbiste de bois
Matériaux – Symbiose industrielle from USIMM
An initiative from :
échofab, Communautique’s multidisciplinary atelier located in the heart of the District Central, is a digital fabrication laboratory (Fab Lab) that brings together the strengths of several sectors (digital manufacturing, education in scientific and technical skills, sustainable development, business support actors) who articulate together an innovative offer to stimulate the emergence of innovative entrepreneurial projects in green and digital economy.
