In recent years, strange ambiguous, dysfunctional, enigmatic, and complicated objects have emerged in the world of design. These objects are based on an approach that has been called anti-design, radical, conceptual, or critical design a speculative design that instead of offering solutions raises questions. Design that is not subject to the imperatives of the power structures of society, but is instead critical. Via a strategy of modifying objects away from their usual forms and utilitarian functions, this design evokes unusual uses and behaviours, in turn opening a way to a more profound questioning of social and political values.
