Kithkin is a group of creative friends who form a platform to show and promote their work. Recently we caught up with them to talk about their new store, which gives away (and also sells) digital blueprints to a wide range of products. Some Rights Reserved lets designers get ideas out directly to the public, on their terms. Designers have greater creative freedom, flexibility, spontaneity, and control over licensing. Consumers are given the chance to purchase design instantly, either printing it out on their own printer or taking the file to a listed supplier for production. www.kith-kin.co.uk
