DESIGN NOIR - ANTHONY DUNNE FIONA RABY GEBUNDEN

The first book to be published on the work of their partnership (in 2001)  Design Noir is the
essential primary source for understanding the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings for
Dunne & Raby's work. Consisting of three elements - a 'manifesto' on the possibilities of
designing with and for the 'secret life' of electronic objects  notes for an embryonic network
of critical designers and  most famously  the presentation of the Placebo Project - a prototype
for a critical design poetics enacted around electronic furniture-objects - Design Noir offers
an in-depth exploration of one of the most seminal design projects of the last two decades  one
that arguably initiated speculating through design in its contemporary forms. By detailing the
logic and character of the objects that were constructed  the involvement of users with these
objects over-time  and in the creation of a new kinds of spatially and temporally distributed
moments of critique and engagement with things  Design Noir presents the case-study of the
Placebo projectas a far more complex and subtler project than is often thought. As a bold and
in many ways unprecedented experiment in design writing and book designing  Design Noir is
itself an instance of the speculative propositional design it expounds.
