Since its inception in 2003, Design Observer has consistently embraced a broader, more interdisciplinary, and circumspect view of design's value in the world, one not limited by materialism, trends, or the slipperiness of style. Dedicated to the pursuit of originality, imagination, and close cultural analysis, it quickly became a lively forum for readers all over the world. Fifteen years, 6,700 articles, 900 authors, and nearly 30,000 comments later, this rich anthology is at once a primer, a celebration, a survey, and a salute to a critical moment in online design culture.
