fetiche design: furniture repairs
the pieces reflect one year of frustrations regarding the furniture industry in brazil, the objects highligt the manufacturers' low quality production and lack of investment in new product development.

‘furniture repairs, deal here’ is a collection of dirty aesthetics by brazil-based firm fetiche design (carolina armellini and paulo biacchi) developed for sao paulo furniture company micasa. the unique, broken pieces deteriorate by time, but each one has its grace and history. valuing the marks and scars of the pieces, these details were not restored. the contemporary repairs and interferences coexist with the marks of the past. fetiche is not the designer, but the transforming agents in the timeline of these products.
