Phaidon is the world’s leading publisher of books on art, design, architecture, and photography, producing meticulously researched volumes that have become essential references in creative libraries worldwide. Since 1923, the London-based house has combined scholarly rigor with striking visual production values, working with leading curators, critics, and historians to give definitive shape to entire fields of visual culture.

Written by design critics Alice Rawsthorn and Paola Antonelli, this 320-page hardcover grew out of their pandemic-era Instagram series interviewing designers about the discipline’s role in addressing crisis, from climate change to inequality. It gathers more than 50 conversations with figures shaping design’s response to a changing world, a thoughtful, image-rich survey that makes the case for design as a tool for repair rather than decoration.
