5-5 is a collective global design studio founded in August 2003 by Vincent Baranger, Jean-Sébastien Blanc, Anthony Lebossé and Claire Renard after studying at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués. Primarily described as a work collective, the 5-5 were propelled to the forefront with their first project Réanim: la médecine des objets. This was followed by the collection of Ordinary Objects, Ouvriers-Designers for the Bernardaud Foundation, and many other emblematic creations that have written their history and built their progression. Some have described them as design troublemakers, others as research heads, they have defined themselves as furniture surgeons, political tinkerers and then craftsmen of the idea. They have thus shaken up and provoked the world of design by systematically questioning their profession or at least their role in the creative process and in consumer society.
Today, their small collective has become a studio but their mindset has not changed. Since its inception, Studio 5-5 has advocated the collaboration of individuals in a joyful spirit, naturally bringing together multidisciplinary creative talents in a global design approach. Their convictions are the same as at the beginning: to remain always close to the people, by proposing useful and aspirational things for the greatest number in a concern to brighten our daily life. Humor being the common thread of their work, it was obvious that one day they would cross paths with the world’s biggest laugher!
