‘The journal of design’
Quarterly Disegno is devoted to exploring the many facets of design and its impact on the world today.
This 41st issue, dedicated to the role of experimentation in design, opens with a creative profile of artist and designer Ori Oirsun Merhav, whose ‘bio-inclusive’ urn built from insect-derived polymers allows her to create cocoon- and -honeycomb-like experimentations with shellac. Elsewhere, this issue visits Maghras, a modest farm and research hub in Al Ahsa utilising innovative agricultural techniques; and editor Oli Strafford meets the makers behind an unusual new kind of furry companion: a curious little robot called Keyaki.
