Repurposing

I want to explore repurposing as part of my experiments. Today I was conscious to observe how I used objects for tasks other than their intended use.

Observation 1: Holding a hot bowl is easier with jumper-gloves
Observation 2: Without a tripod to photograph yourself - a stack of books allows for flexible height
Observation 3: The shower switch jammed off (!). As a hammer would break the plastic, a softer and more precise method was needed.

I think using existing objects, frameworks and technologies for new purposes is key to solving social problems intuitively and I am keen to explore this further.

I'm on an adventure - to explore the limits of design's ability to solve social problems, big and small. To do this I attempted to solve 50 problems in 50 days using design. I also spent time with 12 of Europe's top design firms.
