Dunne & Raby is a design studio founded in London in 1994 by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby. Known for their development of Critical Design, they use speculative projects to probe the social, cultural, and ethical implications of emerging technologies. Anthony Dunne trained in industrial design and completed a PhD in Computer Related Design at the RCA, while Fiona Raby studied architecture and completed an MPhil at the RCA. Both were Senior Research Fellows at the RCA before leading the Design Interactions department (2005–2015), which MoMA’s Paola Antonelli credited with “changing the course of design.” Since 2016, they have been based in New York, teaching at Parsons and directing the Designed Realities Studio.
Reports of global warming, biodiversity loss, rising anti-democratic states, heatwaves, wars, and sea-level rise are enough to make anyone discouraged. In these times, hope is crucial—it’s the difference between envisioning a positive future and resigning to the present. Hope drives action, while hopelessness paralyzes. It rejects the status quo and aspires for change, making it vital for progress. Hope can grow and strengthen, but it can also fade.
