Design for Download

Little Interview here with the Rietveld obsessed (not a bad thing) Minale-Maeda, talking about their new project with Droog. Really not sure what to make of this yet, having free plans for people to copy is absolutely nothing new. Low Tech: fast furniture for next to nothing is 30 years old, and woodworking magazines have included plans for ever, so, the only real difference is the 'printable brackets' used to construct the pieces. Are these purely conceptual? or are they real ? If so, how is something made out of paper going to give any sort of structure to a cupboard?
Might have to mull this one over, and waffle on a bit more about it later.
