Hardware 2024

Why it’s on the list: A self-published annual of physical-product design — “a full year’s study of products, experiments, and conversations with those dedicated to bringing physical technology into the world” — built around a 21-page interview with Teenage Engineering’s Jesper Kouthoofd, with almost every major 2024 hardware release photographed and the people behind them quoted. 255 pages; the roster runs from Teenage Engineering and Nothing to Rabbit, Opal, Zellerfeld, Poetry Camera and Tinypod.

Where I saw it: A link to the book’s own storefront, hardwarebook2024.com. The site is now offline (it resolves to a parked page as of 2026-09-17); the description above is taken from the Wayback Machine snapshot of 2025-09-14: https://web.archive.org/web/20250914142602/https://hardwarebook2024.com/.
