The first publication on open design 'Open Design Now: Why Design Cannot Remain Exclusive' was sold out in just a few months. A second edition has now become available.
The book features 16 essays, 21 case studies, a 72-page Visual Index and 20 provocative “adverts”. Key figures from the world of open design tell us what’s changing at the production and distribution level, which consequences and possibilities open design presents for the profession, and what design’s social significance is today and will be tomorrow.
