5.5 Designers

5.5 Designers is a design research office. Pointed out in 2003 for the Réanim project, a medicine for objects, 5.5 designers started many relationships with big companies (Arc, Ozé, Bernardaud, Galeries Lafayette…). They are determined to propose consuming alternatives while keeping a functional and funny conception.

"Some have described us as the troublemakers of design, others have labeled us “nerds”, but we defined ourselves as furniture surgeons, political handymen and craftsmen of ideas. That is how we challenged and provoked the world of design, by systematically questioning our profession or at least our role in the creative process".
