Anthony Dunne

Anthony Dunne is a prominent figure in the field of critical and speculative design.

He served as the head of the Interactive Design program at the Royal College of Art.

Dunne's work focuses on challenging conventional approaches to product design, particularly in the realm of electronic objects.

He coined the term "post-optimal object" to describe designs that prioritize complex interactions over mere functionality.

Dunne's PhD dissertation formed the basis for "Hertzian Tales," which has become a seminal text in critical design.

His collaborative work with Fiona Raby has further expanded the field of speculative design, inspiring designers to create objects that provoke reflection and discourse on technology's role in society.
