This year in Milan, 5.5 Designers present Cuisine d'Objets, "delicious object recipes to cook at home." Instead of unveiling a new project, the exhibit will share a set of instructions for making new objects out of existing ones around your home. For example, the lamps pictured above can be made from the recipe below, using a vessel, a stick, a clip-on lamp, and cement.

The project is similar in spirit to the firm's Furniture Prosthetics project, where existing furniture is repaired to produce a "new" object. In this case, however, 5.5 does not introduce any manufactured elements, relying only on combination, like an Autoprogettazione for the No-Stop City.
