A collection of writing about design from the influential,
eclectic, and adventurous Design Observer. Founded in 2003, Design
Observer inscribes its mission on its homepage: Writings about
Design and Culture. Since its inception, the site has consistently
embraced a broader, more interdisciplinary, and circumspect view of
design's value in the world-one not limited by materialism, trends,
or the slipperiness of style. Dedicated to the pursuit of
originality, imagination, and close cultural analysis, Design
Observer quickly became a lively forum for readers in the
international design community. Fifteen years, 6,700 articles, 900
authors, and nearly 30,000 comments later, this book is a
combination primer, celebration, survey, and salute to a certain
moment in online culture. This collection includes reassessments
that sharpen the lens or dislocate it; investigations into the
power of design idioms; off-topic gems; discussions of design
ethics; and experimental writing, new voices, hybrid observations,
and other idiosyncratic texts. Since its founding, Design Observer
has hosted conferences, launched a publishing imprint, hosted three
podcasts, and attracted more than a million followers on social
media. All of these enterprises are rooted in the original mission
to engage a broader community by sharing ideas on ways that design
shapes-and is shaped by-our lives. Contributors include Sean Adams,
Allison Arieff, Ashleigh Axios, Eric Baker, Rachel Berger, Andrew
Blauvelt, Liz Brown, John Cantwell, Mark Dery, Michael Erard,
Stephen Eskilson, Bryan Finoki, Kenneth FitzGerald, John Foster,
