The first publication on open design 'Open Design Now: Why Design Cannot Remain Exclusive' was published recently and presented at DMY in Berlin.
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.

Furthermore, a French edition of the (Un)limited Design Contest was held that resulted in 4 finalists that will see their design being made during the Futur en Seine festival. To have a look, just change the language to French or go to unlimiteddesigncontest.fr.
