Why design now? As issues of ecology and sustainable living continue to gain in urgency and topicality, design has come to the forefront of the arts as the discipline best equipped to meet today's challenges. Designers around the world are rising to this clarion call by creating products, buildings, landscapes, messages and more that address important social and ecological problems. Why Design Now? 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. With eight essays by four Cooper-Hewitt curators, project profiles and more than 350 color illustrations, many of which have never been published before, Why Design Now? offers a glimpse into contemporary innovation, and an up-to-the-minute survey of what progressive designers, engineers, entrepreneurs and citizens are doing in diverse fields and at different scales. Many of the featured works have influenced other designers by proposing new methodologies or by pioneering new techniques; also included are practical solutions already being implemented as well as experimental ideas designed to inspire further research. Each of the selected works--from a soil-powered table lamp to a post-petroleum urban utopia--celebrates the transformative power of design.

Brightens, doesn't firm
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I've been using this for about a month now, every night on my face and neck, hoping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tighten some of my skin in that area that seems to be losing elasticity. On my neck, I've honestly noticed no real difference in 4 weeks of continued, consistent daily use. The skin on my face does seem brighter and somewhat less textured than before, but I haven't noticed any change in the issues I was hoping this would resolve, based on the claims and how it was marketed. So... not a bad addition to my skincare, but not the solution I was looking for. Some have expressed concerns about it tingling or stinging... You can feel something when you apply it, it's almost like the feeling of static electricity, but it's very mild. I wouldn't let that stop you from giving it a try if you were concerned about it. It didn't cause my sensitive skin any breakouts or redness (although I was applying it at night before bed, so perhaps any redness was calmed overnight). I'm going to go ahead and finish the bottle, but based on these results, I probably won't repurchase.

Really enjoying this product - Big confidence boost
Size: 2.02 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was a little skeptical at first.. I saw a different brand of cyperusrotundus oil circulating on tik tok and was super interested in a natural remedy to treat facial hair. I did some digging and tested this one. I’ve been using it for about a month and I have to say I notice such a big difference in the texture of the skin on my face. I’ve seen some significant improvement in facial hair growth overall!! Im hoping with prolonged use, it will make an even bigger impact - but so far I am very pleased! I use it 2x a day and I’ve been feeling more confident! Would definitely suggest trying this!

Does work
Size: 2.02 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using this oil for 3 weeks on my face and do see a difference in hair growth. I am an older female and it seems to slow the growth on my face especially on my chin and upper lip. I mix a couple of drops with my moisturizer in the morning and use it alone at night. It does make my face feel soft and rubs in nicely and not greasy.
