Works That Work Magazine No. 10 is available now! We are pleased to announce the new issue of Works That Work. This issue presents a vision of design that we believe in, design as a process that leads to permanent betterment of life and where everyone involved benefits. As examples, we introduce projects that challenge the trend of planned obsolescence and promote the ideas of circular design.

This is also the final issue of the project, so we also devote attention to how things end and designing with the end in mind. WTW has fulfilled its plan of producing 10 issues over five years, creating a magazine that doesn’t follow existing models, but creates alternatives for financing, distribution and production of the magazine. All good things must come to an end.
