REDESIGN
REVISION
ONE











INTRODUCTION

We live in an ecosystem of excess, not only in our physical world but also in our digital lives. Increasing access to information and products, overproduction and mass consumption have created a culture of monotony.  This society of plenty has alienated us from our surroundings. However, it also offers a great opportunity for fresh ideas. The question is: how we can reconnect to the objects we interact with, without contributing to the global waste problem? Over a hundred future designers and artists from the Willem de Kooning Academy have developed extraordinary hybrid objects that explore this question and offer new insights in our everyday objects. Through a process of intuitive design strategies (wordplay,visual association) and digital fabrication, they combined familiar objects, products and tools, giving these discarded appliances a second life: as 'redesigns'.  Their objects confront us with the use of our daily life products and give new meaning to our habits. The 'redesigns' position themselves somewhere between life and hacks, product and design. They can be freely downloaded, modified and distributed through the (Creative Commons / copyleft) license and will eventually be published on the Pirate Bay.
