What happens when designers think beyond the object to creative positive, unexpected design experiences? This book offers inventive perspectives on design and engineering that help reframe and reinvent the way we think about traditional (and often mundane) objects. Coauthor Branko Lukic is founder and principal of Nonobject Studio in Palo Alto, which provides design innovation solutions and strategic consulting services to established companies, nonprofit organizations, and startups worldwide. Coauthor Barry Katz helped to articulate the philosophy of the Nonobject; in addition to serving on CCA's faculty he is also a consulting professor at Stanford University and a fellow at IDEO.
