The Crit #21: Otters with Secrets
The Crit is back with a bumper episode of design news from June 2022.
Returning in full force after Disegno’s editorial team ventured out to the Salone De Mobile, this month’s Crit explores what a two-year hiatus has done to the design fair behemoth; reflects on the publication and ramifications of the Bartlett report; debates the sentience of an AI chatbot and its effect on the public imagination; and examines a series of new projects and products.
