Fine Design

This book establishes Fine Design as a framework for contemporary studio practice, offering tools for designers working across art, craft, and industry. Fine Design defines a contemporary model of design practice that integrates authorship, material intelligence, and studio-based inquiry beyond industrial paradigms. Fine Design offers a guide to this hybrid landscape. Drawing on more than twenty years of studio teaching and practice, Scott Klinker presents a new framework for thinking through the relations between design, art, craft, and industry, while prioritizing experimentation, material intelligence, and the designer’s own voice.
