"Design and Art" comprehensively surveys and also looks beyond the phenomenon of 'designart' that has emerged since the Pop and Minimalist era: cutting-edge, hybrid practices that blur traditional boundaries between art, architecture, graphics, and product design.

Key debates about form and function, the everyday, the collective and the utopian are contextualized historically and theoretically by leading practitioners and critics from both the art and the design worlds.
