Works That Work was an international magazine publishing original, in-depth essays and stories about the impact of creative ideas in everyday life. Editor Peter Biľak tag-lined it ‘a magazine of unexpected creativity’, and saw it as a vehicle for challenging the widely held view that design is only about making objects stylish and more expensive. Thus, the magazine published human interest stories about design’s relevance to the wider public and how good design leads to the permanent betterment of life for all involved, showcasing examples from such far-flung locales as towns north of the Arctic Circle, villages in India and cities in Africa, as well as metropolises all over the globe. Works That Work received awards and enthusiastic press coverage during its run, but more importantly, it broadened the discussion about design, making it relevant to designers and non-designers alike, surprising its readers with things they didn’t know, and often didn’t know that they didn’t know. Designed by Atelier Carvalho Bernau, from start to the very end. The magazine completed its mission with the final issue 10 'In The Beginning is The End' (2017/2018).
