FORUM: Recycling vs. Repairing
22nd April '09, 7:00pm
Romeo Gigli Café
Via Angelo Fumagalli 6 Milan
Repairing is environmentally friendly, but it also changes the relationship between object and user from superficial to enduring and unique. To repair is to restore and renew. When a missing or broken part is replaced, a product’s character can change radically.
For this years Salone del Mobile, Premsela presents a design forum discussing an alternative path to reuse: repairing broken and damaged items in a throwaway society.
Views on the value of repair in the context of the global economic crisis will be discussed and debated by Piet Hein Eek, Satyendra Pakhalé, Corinne Poux-Bernard, and Joanna van der Zanden. The discussion will be chaired by Author Marco Bevolo.
