  VIEWPOINT #27

  THE DO-IT-YOURSELF ISSUE

  PhilosophyConsumption is not merely an act that seems to define the age. It is also a way of thinking. The power that lies in money is that of exchange, for the goods and services we want. Those goods and services are offered to us by manufacturers and the brands they play a part in building. The choice may be vast - but it is their choice. Unless you are wealthy enough to commission genuine bespoke, what you buy is not only what you can afford, but also what is made available. The power lies with the producer. A producer may have to convince you to buy its goods over those of its competitors, but the consumers' only influence is where to take their cash, or, more likely in the consumption boom, credit.

  To change that situation, to lessen the divide between producer and consumer, indeed, to give the power of production to the consumer would entail a profound shift in thinking for shoppers, makers, marketers and society at large. It would, in effect, be a return to the time before the Industrial Revolution. And that seems to be happening. Where Do It Yourself once meant tacking up sloping shelves and periodically flooding the kitchen before finally calling a plumber, the new DIY - more Design It Yourself - is returning the initiative to the consumer. A combination of technology, the internet, excess manufacturing capacity and, it should be stressed, a certain draining of enthusiasm for shopping in these straitened, unsustainable times, is causing individuals to seize the opportunity to make their own products from scratch. For those keen to command their own private economy and be king of their own consumption, the opening will be there not only to design and provide product for themselves, as they want it, but, of course, to take it to market. DIY means not only new freedoms but also new competition.

  contentsYes We Can!The DIY movement has moved on from home improvement to encompass technology, distribution and communication methods that, in theory, allow anyone to make anything and bring it to market. The effect will be profound for consumers and brands alike, says Anna Sansom
