A new edition of a classic work of speculative design, in which Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby explore the revolutionary and uncanny impact of electronic technologies on our lives.

Social Inquiry and a Fellow of the Graduate Institute for Design
Ethnography and Social Thought at The New School, USA.
Fiona Raby is University Professor of Design and Social
Inquiry and a Fellow of the Graduate Institute for Design
Ethnography and Social Thought at The New School, USA.
Their work has been exhibited at MoMA, NYC, the Pompidou Centre,
Paris, and the Design Museum in London, and is in the permanent
collections of MoMA, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Frac
Ile-de-France, Fnac and the MAK as well as several private
collections.
In 2015 Dunne & Raby received the inaugural MIT Media Lab Award and
were nominated for the Prince Philip Designers Prize in 2016.
Like a trap door to a room we didn’t know existed, Design Noir
opened up a space for a critical design practice that was wholly
unexplored in its time. Today, that space seems not only obvious
and essential, but inevitable. The impact of Design Noir has been
inestimable. And the aftershocks from this unassuming but masterful
book are still reverberating decades later.

Design, Parsons, USA*
Only now that speculation through design has come into its own can
we see the full legacy of this mischievous and engaging book. Its
welcome reappearance shows it remains both a crucial study in
material critique and a lesson in how to document the thoughts of
your participants.
*Ann Light, Professor of Design and Creative Technology at the
University of Sussex and Professor of Interaction Design, Social
Change and Sustainability at Malmo University, Sweden*
