POETICS OF DESIGN

Design research goes well beyond the functional aspects of repairability, suggesting a new aesthetic of imperfection, or actively involving users in the production, repair and modification of objects.

Re-Done Bicycle

Tristan Kopp, Gaspard Tine-Beres, Re-Do
France, 2012

An open-source bicycle designed to allow everyone to freely build their own model by designing and producing only the elements needed to connect the various components (tubes, wheels, brakes, seat, gears, etc.), which can be purchased separately by the user. A project that simplifies the process of repair in case of breakage, allows flexibility over time and leads us to understand how objects are made.
