Product Description

The Nue Black Aesthetic celebrates contemporary Black designers who are redefining the landscape of global design. Spanning furniture, architecture, fashion and installation, this richly illustrated catalogue explores practices shaped by identity, culture and community—revealing how the Black experience today is central to the way design is conceived, produced and understood. Featuring work by Mac Collins, Samuel Ross, Bianca Saunders and Giles Tettey Nartey, among others, the book challenges assumptions about what Black design looks like and who shapes design culture. Drawing on the legacy of the Black Aesthetic movement of the 1960s and the New Black Aesthetic of the 1980s, The Nue Black Aesthetic reflects a contemporary moment defined by nuance. Guest-curated by Charlene Prempeh—founder of A Vibe Called Tech and author of Now You See Me: An Introduction to 100 Years of Black Design—this essential volume offers a vital, timely rethinking of design’s present and future.
