There is a very interesting project in my mind since two years ago and I never gave up thinking about it. I always thought I could make more out of it. It was the final year project of a design student, named design mistakes. Her main idea was about those mistakes happening accidently during the manufacturing and what the producer does with the faulty product. She was trying to find ways to use the faulty products. She had researched on how perfectionist the society is (manufacturers, producers, sellers, costumers) and how annoying is when importers have a standard to import fruits and nuts in the UK. Fruits have to have the same size, weight, life time… otherwise there is no buyer for that, people do not take different size oranges from a basket, no matter they are mouthwatering.
She didn't try to change the rationale behind the idealism in people's mind. Instead she tried to find ways to use the defect of the products to make them unique. (i.g. she made some ceramic plain plates that when they chipped off, a beautiful colour appeared form the underneath of the plate surface) So, the damage changed the value of a plain plate and perfectionist people will wait for the next scratch to see more beauty of the plate
