Matter Matters

Diseñar con el mundo

In co-edition with: Actar Publishers

Matter Matters. Designing with the world invites us to reflect on the materiality of historical and contemporary objects and offers a critical and visionary perspective for a fairer, decarbonised and decolonised world.

Thanks to the collaborative effort of its 54 authors, who come from a diverse range of disciplines, among others philosophy, design, architecture, sociology, geology anthropology and chemistry, this book explores and connects lines of thought that converge in the same urgent question: how do we redefine our relationship with matter in a period of historical change?

With over 500 illustrations, it is a window into the Museu del Disseny - DHub project, which, by exhibiting the material nature of its collection alongside innovative contemporary creations, challenges us to question the extractivist principles of the past and to imagine a regenerative and environmentally friendly future.

In a context of scarce resources and faced with the unavoidable challenge of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Matter Matters is an essential work for those seeking to understand and participate in the shift towards conscious and responsible design.
