seen earlier this year at milan design week, 5.5 designers presented their 'cloning' project in saint-étienne as part
of the 'flight number ten' exhibition. the project is inspired from the medical techniques of cloning, with the aesthetic
of the collection drawing from one's body. the shapes of the objects are a result of a process which takes data
from your physical characteristics such as your eye color, haircut, weight, body mensurations and transforms
this personal information into objects.
