DEF

A new model of ownership through which one individual doesn’t own one item but instead many individuals share ownership of this certain item.

OBS

For so many decades the consumer mindset has been all about sole ownership of the items that we select to purchase for ourselves. In this new model of consumption, individuals accept only a share of the item, essentially taking what they need while letting others take what they need.

French
