‘R for Repair: London x Singapore’, the second edition of the ‘R for Repair’ exhibition, opens in London in September 2022. The exhibition shines a timely spotlight on consumerism by showing how, with a little ingenuity, cherished but broken objects can be given both new meaning and a fresh lease of life.

Presented by DesignSingapore Council, National Design Centre (Singapore) and the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) (London), the second edition of the project will make its international debut at the V&A London. Co-curated by Hans Tan Studio (SG) and Jane Withers Studio (UK), as a London x Singapore exchange, ‘R for Repair: London x Singapore’ will be shown during the London Design Festival (LDF) 2022, and in conjunction with Singapore Design Week.

Ten designers in Singapore were invited to exercise their creativity and restore broken, faulty, worn-out objects that were volunteered by the public through an open call. Their unique and fascinating approaches resulted in outcomes that challenge our preconceptions of repair.
