About Thios + Co.
Building an industry of open source shelter. We are democratizing access to high-quality, sustainable, and modular spaces.
Thiosの物語
Peter Bartsch — 創業者 & プロダクトデザイナー
10代でスケートボードのランプを作ることから始まり、John Deereでの製品設計、FourKitesを年間売上300万ドルから1億ドルへの成長まで — 15年以上のプロダクトデザインが一つのシンプルな信念を育みました：誰もがよくデザインされた空間を持つべきだ。Thiosは一つの問いから始まりました：裏庭にサウナやオフィスを建てることが、家具を組み立てるように簡単だったら？オープンソースの設計図、モジュール式ヘックスパネル、3Dコンフィギュレーター — そしてここに至りました。仲介者なし、上乗せなし、みんなのための良いデザイン。
Our Mission
Democratize Access to Space. We are making well-designed, modular shelters accessible to everyone. Calculated open source hardware you can build with local resources—dimensional lumber from the hardware store, common tools, zero waste.
✓ Open Source | ✓ Educational | ✓ Community Owned
It started with wanting fresh food. Then it became something bigger. The modular system I designed for farming a parking spot could become anything—workspace, sauna, gaming room, shelter. That changed everything.
It works best as open source. Everyone contributes and improves the designs. Innovation speeds up. The community becomes the engine.
The real goal: instead of creating another billionaire, we are building a network of small businesses. Open source designs, open standards. Local shops manufacturing Thiosphere™ modules. Each business specializing in what they do best—one makes frames, another does panels, another handles assembly. A network of thriving small businesses working together.
