MYU is an umbrella that allows the user to repair and change it. As a result, lengthening its use time, thereby creating long-term relationship with the user.
By using simple components such as screws, rods and fabrics, which are readily accessible, an immediate replacement of damaged parts and repair is possible with minimal effort. The ability to "fix it yourself" gives back the designers the power to extend shelf-life of products and calls for a significant change in the consumption of disposable products.
The creation of products with design qualities that can be repaired with the help of household tools, strengthens the connection between the user and the product.
