Crosstree Inc functioned as an architectural metal fabrication laboratory that combined fabrication and design across disciplines, serving the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for residential, commercial, and institutional projects. The team consisted of professionals with degrees in architecture, design, engineering, or fine arts, enabling effective communication with design firms to understand ideas and intents. A detail-oriented fabrication approach and a modern facility supported the production of metalwork tailored to individual projects. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the company traces its origins to 1996 and built a reputation as a cross-disciplinary metal fabricator for architectural firms in Chicago and New York City. In 2012 it introduced Seed, an open-source design system that broadened its work into the public domain. The entity ceased to exist as an Illinois-incorporated company after 2016, though the record indicates an intention to pursue Web3 and DAO-related initiatives in the near future.
