field
speculative design
Speculative Design is an experimental project initiated in 2018 and presented in the exhibition Design Reflections at TU–Sofia on 7 November 2019. It explores how design can formulate questions rather than only provide ready-made solutions.
The spatial composition combines metal and mirrored surfaces, light, text, and objects. Ideas such as opinion, observation, comment, response, criticism, echo, and art become physical material for reflection and for the viewer’s changing point of view.
