Design Fiction

Also known as speculative design (or are we misunderstanding the terminology?), related to critical design… Design fiction is in some ways close to FFab's physical narration, with a focus on objects, products, (experience) prototypes (…) that are designed as if they are coming from the future, but can be experienced as tangible artifacts in the present.

Design Fiction is that it is “the deliberate use of diegetic prototypes to suspend disbelief about change.”
