PRINT Book Club: Dora Drimalas on Curiosity and Design
Dora Drimalas discussed her 640-page book 'Curiosity in All Things' during a PRINT Book Club event hosted by Debbie Millman and Steven Heller. The conversation emphasized process, imperfection, and hybridity over specialization, drawing inspiration from punk flyers, toy collecting, typography, and Halloween ephemera. Drimalas argued that AI cannot replicate emotional resonance or human instinct, and described how Hybrid Design resisted scaling to preserve its curiosity-driven culture. The book features fluorescent marbled edge painting, collectible cover variations, and ribbons. Clients mentioned include Nike, Mohawk, and Super7.
