AtFAB è uno studio di design fondato dagli architetti Anne Filson e Gary Rohrbacher. Il duo progetta complementi d'arredo per frese a controllo numerico e la manifattura in rete con l'obiettivo di stimolare un nuova modalità di progettare, produrre e acquistare prodotti.
Dal lancio del progetto di ricerca della linea di complementi di arredo open source a marchio AtFAB, makers da tutto il mondo hanno scaricato quasi 10 mila volte i files del progetto. I mobili sono stati customizzati e prodotti localmente dalla community di makers globale e commissionata da clienti privati come Makerbot Industries. Inoltre sono stati esposti in varie mostre e fiere, dalle Maker Faire al MIT. La sedia AtFAB 5-30 Minute Chair è stata recentemente acquisita per la collezione permanente del Centre National des Arts Plastiques a Parigi. AtFAB e' stato definito come il "Distruttore di IKEA" e "l'iTunes dei mobili", ed è stato evidenziato da media come NPR, The Economist, Coolhunting.

AtFAB is a design firm co-founded by architects Anne Filson and Gary Rohrbacher. They design things for digital CNC fabrication tools and networked manufacturing, in order to provoke a new way of designing, making, and buying goods. Since launching the AtFAB furniture line as a small open source research project, makers around the world have downloaded over ten thousand AtFAB files. The furniture has been customized and made locally by a global community of makers, has been commissioned by private clients, like MakerBot Industries, and has been exhibited in a wide range of venues from Maker Faires to MIT. The AtFAB 5-30 Minute Chair was recently acquired for the permanent collection of the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris. Called an “IKEA Disruptor” and “iTunes for Furniture,” AtFAB has been featured by NPR, The Economist, and The Atlantic, as well as by MAKE Magazine, Treehugger, and Coolhunting.
