Hvilken social indflydelse har design? Og hvordan former kultur og økonomi de objekter og rum vi som regel tager for givet? "The Culture of Design" svarer bl.a. på disse spørgsmål, men også på hvordan design, designeres, producenters og forbrugeres indbyrdes relation kan skabe oplevelser. Guy Julier står bag "The Culture of Design", og her undersøger hun bl.a. iPhonen og de nye mobile teknologier. Bogen er oplagt til alle designstuderende og -interesserede, og et er interessant sociologisk værk om ting, der omgiver os hver eneste dag.
