Cooperativa de Diseño

Region
Argentina
Cooperativa de Diseño is a worker-owned graphic design cooperative in Argentina whose horizontal, democratic way of working shows an alternative, more equitable model for running a design practice.
The Cooperativa de Diseño in Argentina, a worker-owned cooperative of graphic designers and visual communicators. Their collaboration leverages a shared foundation that is not only methodological and aesthetic but also organizational and political, rooted in principles of horizontalism and democratic decision-making. This deep common ground allows for remarkably efficient communication and shared problem-solving. By successfully operating under a cooperative model, they actively reinforce the discipline's autopoietic loop; they are not just producing design outcomes, but are also producing and validating an alternative, more equitable model for design practice itself.
