Design Work Leisure (DWL) is a design office attempting to find a practical role within London Underground.The company — part research facility, part lobby for change, aims to intervene into the fabric of the Victoria line.The designs will be artworks that function with the intention of affecting change for both worker and passenger alike.

Revisiting the values and vision of William Morris, Frank Pick and the Design Research Unit, DWL has the specific goal to produce objects that move beyond their function.This is to be understood as the common good. ‘The way for all.’*
