For this book Vladimir Arkhipov travelled across Europe to collect objects made with the ultimate There-I-Fixed-It mentality. The objects he has found are made by everyday people inspired by the desire to create something themselves rather than buying manufactured goods. ­­The book suggests that many of these utilitarian objects transcend the dictates of necessity, and that this passion for the home-made is not simply a consequence of hard times.
