“Design Your Life is an utter pleasure, like a delicious tray of warm brownies that also happen to be nutritious. I’ve never encountered a book about design so smart and fun and unpretentious and easy to love.” – Kurt Andersen, author of Heyday and Turn of the Century
“Finally, a how-to book for contrarians. It is at once an homage to the thingness of everyday things and a meditation on how those things—despite our best efforts to design them—fail us.”
– Shoshana Berger, editor in chief, ReadyMade Magazine
“With their marvelous compendium of the furiously ordinary objects that float through our daily lives, Ellen and Julia Lupton have captured the wonder of design in all its off-kilter glory.”
- Debbie Millman, author of How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer
“Ellen Lupton could write and design a book on a paper bag and I’d order one sight unseen and expect genius. Design Your Life is a quirky, smart, fun, cool book that makes you think about your things in a new way.”
- Rebecca Walker, author of Baby Love and One Big Happy Family: 18 Writers Talk About Polyamory, Open Adoption, Mixed Marriage, Househusbandry, Single Motherhood and Other Realities of Truly Modern Love
