Final Results Announcement! Ornament Exchange project
25.02.13 Blog: Morten Sylvest Nøhr
In 2012 Christmas time, our first Fab exchange attempt called “Fab Christmas Ornament Exchange Project” was taking place in Copenhagen and Tokyo.
We made Christmas ornaments in a slightly different way, together with the FabCafe, a cool café in Tokyo. The unique point of this project was that we decided exchange the presents via data ONLY.
Today, we are thrilled to announce who won the popular vote! Also, I am going to share with you how the project went…
FabCafe in Tokyo
Through two weeks of this project, we exchanged 14 unique ornaments. Some created beautiful angel and snow motifs . Some used Japanese character “hiragana” in his ornament design. All the works were super unique and sophisticated! Variety of creators, from architecture, designer to student joined this event. We’d like to express big thank you to all who participated! Thank you so much!
So, it is time to announce the winners!! As a results of the Facebook vote, two ornaments were selected! From Copenhagen, ”Christmas grenade by Nicolas (left)” and from Tokyo, “Snow& star by Megumi Minagawa (right)” won the popular vote. Congratulations!!!
Megumi with her prize:
Nicolas with his prize, FabCafe notebooks and Japanese paper. Nice!
To tell the truth, exchanging data per day was harder than we expected it’d be. “Data gifts” also require time, effort and LOVE, just like the normal present. 
The time difference (8 hours) was also something that we had to think about. We often changed theses data midnight or early morning. There were also a several data accidents but the only thing we would say was it has given us amazing experience.
However, regardless the long distance, we managed to share our idea and create the same things together, and it made us feel that we are actually witnessing the future of manufacturing and making. We felt that the world is getting closer and closer through our creativity. Republikken will keep trying toward the new fabrication possibility!

FabCafe/Republikken Christmas Ornament Exchange
05.12.12 Blog: Morten Sylvest Nøhr
Why don’t you take part in a new form of exchange of present in which physical objects do not move?
Christmas tree has just come to the FabCafe in Shibuya, Tokyo. When the tree comes, it’s time to decorate it with ornaments! In FabCafe, we make ornaments in a slightly different way, together with the Republikken, the workspace made for creative people in Copenhagen, Denmark.
How do we decorate the tree?
We decorate the tree by exchanging designs created by the creators in Copenhagen and Tokyo. It sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
Are you assuming that we send the ornaments by mail or using reindeer?! The answer is No! We’ll give post mans and Santa Claus holiday, and the exchange between Copenhagen and Tokyo is being done with “data” only. There is no mail and no reindeer at all.
Here’s how it goes:
1. Creative people located at Republikken and FabCafe create Christmas ornament data to send to one another.
2. Ornament data is sent by email from Republikken to FabCafe on one day, sent from FabCafe to Republikken on the next day, and so forth, on alternating days.
3. Using the received data, FabCafe and Republikken use their own laser cutters to create ornaments from paper, acrylic, or other materials.
4. Ornaments designed by creative people at FabCafe are hung onto the Christmas tree at Republikken, and ornaments designed by creative people at Republikken are hung on the tree at FabCafe.
Come and join us! Let’s hang your ornament on the tree in Copenhagen!
Dates and times：
Weekdays from Monday, December 3 to Thursday, December 20
Participation：
At FabCafe, the laser cutter will be opened for this project between the hours of 17:00 and 18:00 during the project dates noted above.
People who want to send Christmas ornaments to Copenhagen should make ornament data and then bring it to FabCafe! (The material fee is only 500 yen, and the Fab ticket is free)
The ornament exchange will include daily updates on Facebook . Collected created pieces will be added to our page on here on Loftwork.com every day, too!
Data creation rules

3mm composite board, paper, or 3mm acrylic

Stil spørgsmål
Publikum inviteres til at stille spørgsmål og byde ind undervejs, så der er mulighed for at komme med indspark og dele erfaringer, der om muligt fører til bedre vilkår for iværksættere.
Alle er velkomne til at deltage som publikum, så duk endelig op.

Spred ordet om dit design

Hvor meget skal du beskytte dit produkt?
Det var et af aftenens helt store spørgsmål, da Republikken i samarbejde med CKO og ArtRebels inviterede til en aften om immaterielle rettigheder.
Advokat Kåre Wanscher, MAQS, gav os indsigt i ophavsret, mens advokat Martin Von Haller Grønbæk, BvHD, kunne rådgive om creative commons og open business models. Konsulent Mikael Højris fra Dansk Musiker Forbund gav fifs om kontrakter til musikere.
Vi havde inviteret tre cases til at fortælle om deres problemstillinger og udfordringer ved at drive en kreativ forretning. Dorthe Krogh var i tvivl om, hvor meget hun skulle sprede budskabet om sine silkeblomster, mens Michael Kjærsgaard, der har firmaet Sliides og lever af at lave PowerPoint skabeloner, overvejede, hvordan han kunne bevare rettighederne på sine open source produkter.
Frédéric Collette fra Collect Furniture havde været gennem hele patent-møllen og brugt oceaner af tid og økonomi på at beskytte sine børnemøbler. Han var endt op med den konklusion, han i stedet skulle have brugt krudtet på markedsføring.
Med et par skarpe svar fra eksperterne blev vi alle klogere på immaterielle rettigheder. Og det stod klar, at det langt hen ad vejen handler om at vise verden, at du er den første, der har lavet netop dette produkt f.eks. med markedsføring.
Desuden er du ofte er beskyttet af markedsføringsloven, så overvej nøje, hvor originalt dit produkt er, og om du vil beskytte hele produktet eller blot en detalje …
