About Speculative Design (Dunne & Raby)
Speculative Design is Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby's deliberately undesigned exhibition language — a sober, museum-cold gallery wall on which cold rendered prototypes and plainly photographed concept objects sit without persuasion.
Critical design as quiet provocation rather than seductive product styling: restrained, conceptual, near-colourless. The look says "the future as a question, presented without persuasion" — the future as critique, not as advertisement.
