Product Design

We bring innovative concepts to consumer products through cutting-edge design and technology — helping make lives more productive and self-sufficient, with the lowest possible impact on the planet and its inhabitants.

CAP / 02

Rapid Prototyping

Using the latest in rapid prototyping and 3D printing, we solve problems fast, experiment freely, and refine functionality — the highest-quality, genuinely affordable products at the lowest environmental cost.

CAP / 03

Technology for Good

We build solutions for those who'd normally never have access to them — and bring them to underserved communities at no charge. As we move forward, we create the means to empower people to help themselves.

genshi.box
Personal Social Networking Appliance · 2014

genshi.box was the product that launched genshi.lab — your very own personal social-networking appliance, as simple to use as logging into the site you already use. Post, share, upload your photos and videos; everything you do online, except your entire digital life lived on a personal server that you controlled. Not a corporate server. Not "the cloud." No one to sell your data, spam you, or spy on you.

"Your information, right there in your hands. Take back control of your digital life."
Status — Shelved

The working prototype earned genuinely good reviews — but the crowdfunding campaign came up short, and genshi.box never reached production. Some say it was simply too far ahead of its time. The roadmap even included GenshiSat — free satellite internet for every user. For now the project rests on the shelf; the conviction behind it still drives everything we do.

03 — Founder & Vision

Everyone deserves the world's information — and control of their own.

Founder & Product Architect Craig Anthony Perkins in the design lab.

genshi.lab was founded on a simple belief: your photos, files, and personal information belong in your hands — safe, private, yours. Not on a server where it can be sold to advertisers, stolen by hackers, or surveilled by over-reaching governments.

We call it disruptive innovation — designing technology that puts people back in control. genshi.box may rest on the shelf, but that conviction still shapes everything we make.
