Disegno is an international journal dedicated to long-form writing and photography around design.

Founded in 2011 by Johanna Agerman Ross, the entire archive of back issues is now available for individuals and institutions. 

Disegno covers all design fields, as well as the social forces that shape, and are shaped by, the discipline. Disegno is devoted to writing and photography that highlights the political, social, environmental and industrial impact of design.
