Positioned as a "resource for design thinking and practice," this book challenges the paths through which contemporary designers conventionally operate and the values of speed and efficiency that dominate discourse. Slow Reader is intended to inspire readers well beyond the design field, serving as a vehicle for reflection, imagination and further investigation of "slower" approaches to living.At the heart of every product lies a unique story, driven by our passion for quality and innovation.
