Chair Fitted with a Crutch
From the series "Réanim : la médecine des objets"

The Paris-based collective 5.5 designers reimagines furniture repair through artistic intervention rather than traditional restoration. Like a doctor treating a patient, they approach broken furniture with a healer’s mindset in their “Réanim : la médecine des objets” series. Their manifesto advocates reanimating, rehabilitating and curing discarded pieces, thus turning designers into furniture physicians. This humble chair exemplifies their philosophy, which makes a powerful statement about sustainable consumption while challenging our throwaway culture through its artful rehabilitation.
