I found Platforms 21's 'Repair Manifesto' at the Milan Design Fair, I found it very inspiring but was unsure how to include the ideas in my own work. I decided to research what they were up to at the moment...
"Besides a lot of inspiration and information Platform21 = Repairing also offers several repair units where you can Repair It Yourself.
As for this Friday, Saturday and Sunday you can mend the holes in your sweater in a beautiful way with the wool filler of Heleen Klopper and darn socks with the help of Nienke Sybrandy and Eva Heisterkamp's instructions. Give your ceramic or plastic doll new limbs as inspired by the work of Jan Vormann, or try out one of the improvisation repair kits by buro buurvrouw. Just using duct tape for your repair is also possible; we have a rainbow of colours in stock.
When it is impossible to repair your product on the spot, leave it behind with a Fix Me! label. We might just find the repair specialist who can help you.
And did your repair turn out to be very beautiful or handy? Then enter it to the Most Remarkable Repair Contest!"
