The Maker Library Network

Vitra Design Museum Gallery

The Maker Library Network is a worldwide association of designers and studios that have embraced maker culture to share their practices, processes and products. Each Maker Library is a combination of three elements: a workplace, a library and a gallery. The library element reflects the theoretical interests and happenings within the workspace. The gallery serves the studios and local community, as well as visitors to the online platform. The exhibition curated by Daniel Charny explains the underlying concept of the global network, and is itself a Maker Library. Projects and objects created across the network are presented together for the first time, inviting visitors to read, observe and participate in the process of making.
