Covid altered every aspect of life and reshaped our work culture: from how we work, how to produce our work, how we communicate, to how we relate to one another. “Studio practice” that used to define a design organization’s culture has largely dissolved in the age of Covid, but the office and its artifacts have remained. This lecture is a reflection on the seemingly mundane office objects — design tools — and the work.
