''Samoróbki'' are objects made by farmers for use on the farm''. These items incorporate elements of worn-out objects, tools or machinery. They reintroduce damaged objects or their components back into circulation.In the countryside, engineering and technical creativity was a highly sought after skill, especially since the culture of the Polish countryside in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century was based on the idea of self-sufficiency. Home-made items are now a response to contemporary ecological challenges and an important contribution to the discussion on "second-use" objects, which is of great importance for us all at this historical moment.
