Inside Design Now is a critical selection of work by eighty designers and firms operating at the most provocative level in design today. More than 400 colour illustrations reveal the flow of ideas across the fields of architecture, interiors,product design, graphic design, fashion, film, and new media.

The National Design Triennial was inaugurated by Cooper-Hewitt,National Design Museum to study and celebrate contemporary design in the United States. Interdisciplinary in nature, the Triennial reviews cutting-edge trends and future horizons across the fields of design practice, from architecture, interiors, and landscape design to product design, graphic design, fashion, film, and new media. It is the only exhibition program of its kind in the United States. Great thanks go to our founding sponsor, BP, as well as to Birkenstock, Agnes Bourne, the Lily Auchincloss Foundation, Inc., and Joel and Anne Ehrenkranz for their essential support in making this exhibition a reality.
