The electrical appliances in your home are designed to break down quickly—and intentionally!

Thanks to Michel Vieira for appearing on Legend. Michel Vieira began his career as an in-home repair technician before becoming the head of MDA Company, a group of brands specializing in discount home appliances. For Legend, he agreed to look back on his journey and the boldness that allowed him to seize opportunities, as well as to discuss key topics such as planned obsolescence, the repairability index, and connected devices. Thanks also to Gil Bartholeyns—author of *L’étrange et folle aventure du grille-pain, de la machine à coudre et des gens qui s’en servent* (available here: https://amzn.to/3Leq9Mo)—who agreed to join us on Legend to talk about and show us vintage home appliances.
