"...FOC was born at the same time as "digital culture". We anticipated this 
trend and have explored and developed 3D printing technologies since the 
very first days of this new phenomenon. Nevertheless you might not think of 
digital culture while looking at our designs. Most of them are just subtle 
beauties that can also be appreciated and understood by someone who has 
never even turned on a computer. However, the world is quickly changing and 
this decade has given people in various fields of life the opportunity to 
become the star they always wanted to be. Be it cooking, dancing, singing or 
becoming a video artist, through all the new talent platforms and networks, 
it all seems possible today. The same will also happen to our new designs, 
which will give the people more freedom to interact with the designs online 
and have their wildest dreams come true...."

Janne Kyttänen, from "Freedom of Creation. Open Design will change the 
world" - by Luigi Ghezzi
