The latest issue of Disegno’s new sibling publication, Design Reviewed #3 is a warm, witty and incisive compendium of some of the best design writing going: a series of nine essays examining topics from government policies intended to promote repairable fashion, to AI technology designed to assess the quality of olive oil.
The winter 2023/24 edition of Design Reviewed launches on 30 November, and is already available to pre-order through our online shop. For anyone hoping to buy a copy as a Christmas gift, we’ve shared last order dates to ensure guaranteed delivery at the bottom of this article.
The issue covers a range of stories, including Lagos Space Programme’s garment-based research into queerness in a west-African context; a vision of bike-based spatial navigation advocated by Beeline; the rise of Stills, a new stock photograph website created by designers for designers; Tatiana Bilbao’s ruin-like aquarium in Mazatlán, Mexico; and much more.

‘Remnants of a Retreating Sea’ by Michael Snyder ‘The Modern Milkman’ by Jonna Dagliden Hunt ‘To Speak Amongst Ourselves’ by Joshua Segun-Lean ‘Stock Creep’ by Lara Chapman ‘The Attention of Passersby’ by Joe Lloyd
