More about:


Don't recycle, repair. Those are the words at the end of Platform 21's "
Repair Manifesto " and they mean it.

Over the last few months, this Amsterdam-based design collective has opened their studios to both artist and the public to share the clever and creative ways they have come up with to fix broken items. Everything from windows to plates to sweaters - even relationships - have been mended in the effort.
