Fine Design: A Studio Guide to Remixing Design, Art, Craft, and Industry

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. Once bound to the logic of mass manufacturing, design is returning to the intimacy of making. Designers now operate with unprecedented access to the tools of production, distribution, and digital media. The result is a renewed engagement with materials, processes, audiences, and scale. The boundaries between industrial design and craft are no longer oppositional but reciprocal, part of a shared horizon where digital and handmade practices inform one another.
