The Manifesto:

The pop up store follows the goal to engage the maker to the consumer and create a virtuous circle. Digital tools are becoming more and more accessible and the logic of sharing is required. Developed by maker spaces several topics are questioning the economic models as new distribution channels for work and products, a way to strengthen links between global creation and local manufacturing, and furthermore how the store of the future looks like.
