Nought for Sale™
A transdisciplinary studio practice where nothing is for sale, yet everything is open to inquiry.
Nought for Sale is a design-led research practice that interrogates design’s involvement within hierarchical frameworks of power, labour, and exchange. Rooted in the contexts of the Global South, its practice rejects forever profit-driven markets, focusing instead on value co-creation through non-hierarchical collaboration and relational frameworks.
Through Indigenous epistemologies and transitional design frameworks, the studio aims to shift dominant Western narratives by focusing on non-commercialised interventions. Situated between critical theory and speculative design, the studio fosters discursive spaces where design is put towards systemic reimagination rooted in care, equity, long-term ecological stewardship, and socially responsible guardianship and not driven by raw economic forces.
