CAREAMIC: A sustainable initiative taking shape through a collaboration between a café and a designer to limit waste of chipped tableware

Abstract [en]

 CAREAMIC came from a reflection on caring for objects and what it might look like to repair our surroundings the way we repair ourselves. Inspired by a love for café and dining experiences, the project enters the unsustainable life cycle of professional ceramic tableware, with a focus on intentional repair of Komet café’s chipped cups. Using and developing accessible tools, the product-service-system approach blends mass-produced objects with a detail-oriented design and a handcrafted technique. It introduces a model that allows tableware to be repaired on-site, directly where damage occurs. While developing a close collaboration with Komet, the CAREAMIC service-system pushes the project towards becoming a scalable and expandable rehabilitation program for our functional but not-quite-usable, chipped tableware.
