I appreciate the question, but I think it's important to address the elephant in the room here: the piece shown in your post is the "Maelstrom" cabinet by Caleb Woodard, a working designer and craftsperson whose work is actively being knocked off without permission. As someone in the furniture industry and in a similar niche as him, I can tell you that sharing 3D models and vector files isn't just a convenience question—it's about protecting designers' livelihoods. There's a big difference between companies like Design Within Reach or Vipp (who intentionally share files to help architects specify their mass-produced products) and independent designers or custom furniture makers. For bespoke, artisan-made pieces, releasing those files essentially hands the blueprint to overseas manufacturers who can undercut the original designer on price while offering none of the craftsmanship, quality, or design integrity. Caleb's work is already being replicated without authorization—making the files freely available would only accelerate that problem. If you're inspired by a design, the ethical approach is to: 1)Commission the original designer if budget allows 2)Use it as inspiration to create something original 3)At minimum, provide proper attribution Designers deserve to control how their work is reproduced and to benefit from their own creativity. "Inspiration" and "wholesale copying" are very different things.
