In 2012 Christmas time, our first Fab exchange attempt called "Fab Christmas Ornament Exchange Project" was taking place in Copenhagen and Tokyo.

Fab Talks #01 Hiroya Tanaka & Chiaki Hayashi Do it with others. The reasons why we want to make “Fab” available all over the world “Fab Talks” is a series of interviews that tell you about the various great aspects of the “FabCafe” concept. In this first interview, we have with us the founder of FabLabs Japan, (as well as associate professor at Keio University SFC), Hiroya Tanaka, and one of FabCafe’s founders, Loftwork CEO Chiaki Hayashi.

Some enjoy fabrication with the laser cutter and the others enjoy drinks and foods.
