Détournement DIY By Jorge Penadés

“Détournement DIY is a homage to Guy Debord and Gil J. Wolman, the name of the project references a methodology developed in the 1950s by the Letterist International and later adapted by the Situationist International. This proposal is set to explore the idea of apropiation; it is based on a existing shelving systems that has been re-examined and altered, amplifying its potential applications for the academic landscape. Considering industrial shelving systems as a multifunctional entity rather than a single structure, we have designed several DIY furniture propositions with the aim of introducing alternatives to the often monotonous and insipid equipment of the educational sphere. The collection includes: a school chair, a trestle, an adaptable double-side desk, a high stool, a low stool, a shelve, a chair and a bench.”
