About
The Project
diy furniture project is an open library of free furniture plans, combining traditional woodworking techniques with modern 3D modeling and fabrication methods. Every plan is freely available — no paywalls, no accounts, no catch. We believe quality furniture design should be accessible to everyone.
Philosophy
We believe that well-designed furniture should be free, accessible, and built to last. All plans are shared openly so anyone can build, modify, and learn from them. Our designs prioritize:
- Simple construction methods using common tools
- Readily available materials like plywood and standard hardware
- Modular designs that can be adapted to different spaces and needs
- Structural integrity and longevity over trends
- Open access — every plan is free to download and use
Approach
Each furniture design begins as a 3D model, allowing for precise measurements and visualization before any material is cut. The digital models can be viewed and manipulated in your own space using AR technology. Detailed plans include cut lists, assembly instructions, and finish recommendations.
We incorporate 3D printed components where they improve functionality or simplify construction, but the core structure relies on time-tested joinery and building techniques.
