National Design Triennial' accompanies the fourth installation in Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum's acclaimed 'National Design Triennial' exhibition series. Designed by Michael Bierut, a partner in the award-winning design firm Pentagram, 'Why Design Now?' is the first Triennial book to be truly international in reach, with 134 designers and projects in more than 44 countries.
