Wrote catalog essay for Extra-Ordinary, a conceptual design exhibition that took place in 2005 at Kulturhuset in Stockholm, Sweden. The projects included were meant to surprise, aggravate, alarm, and delight their audience. Also, guest speaker in a symposium entitled When Objects Dream. Discussed, along with Charles Holland of FAT and Fiona Raby from Dunne & Raby, the work and the role of provocation and criticality in design.

"Designed objects rarely seem too comfortable in the fancy clothes of the museum or gallery. Despite their happy promise, the bright lights reveal their more humble origins as mass-produced consumer goods. In some ways, the wayward inscrutability of the projects in Extra Ordinary makes them a better fit. And while one might argue that that makes them closer to art than design, the opposite is true. Without their deep ties to the ordinary and to the everyday, without an outside referent, these works would lose their complexity. They challenge us precisely because they slip so seamlessly into our routines. They operate by revealing the balky, smudgy reality of our everyday life, a reality that most products strenuously strain to gloss over."
