Repair Is Beautiful is the title of Central Saint Martins student Paulo Goldstein's final collection, whereby he fixes broken everyday items using limited resources and a Hack-tivate approach.

His final collection (first featured on Homebuildlife here) comprises four separate items: a lamp, a pair of headphones, a chair and an iPod Shuffle, which all appear far from their original states.

Imposing a specific restriction on each repair, including limited resources and planning, Paulo even recovered bone from leftover meals to innovatively fix an iPod.
