Dunne & Raby is a London-based design studio established 1994. Dunne & Raby uses design as a medium to stimulate discussion and debate amongst designers, industry and the public about the social, cultural and ethical implications of current and emerging technologies. Its practice is centred on Critical Design, a critical theory approach to design.
The term "critical design" was first used in Anthony Dunne's book Hertzian Tales (1999) [5] and further developed in Design Noir: The Secret Life of Electronic Objects (2001). [6] According to Sanders, critical design probes an "ambiguous stimuli that designers send to people who then respond to them, providing insights for the design process."

Dunne and Raby note that hyper-commercialization of design during the 1980s drove this practice. [1] [2] Designers struggled to find a social model to align with outside of the capitalist economy.
