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.

To respond to the need to replace old light bulbs with new energy-saving light sources, this limited edition redesigns common objects, improving their efficacy through a process of repair. Every lamp uses two old fixtures that have been dismantled, repainted, rewired and connected by a glass tube that contains a low-energy fluorescent linear source.
