Design to challenge reality

Ordinary objects hold hidden potential to challenge assumptions and reframe reality. Transforming a holiday card into a self-referential story or a wedding invitation into a functional paper record player can turn routine moments into playful discoveries. In one project, a meticulously counterfeited newspaper offered readers a glimpse of a utopian future, momentarily shifting their beliefs about what is possible. Small creative interventions reveal that even the most familiar things can open doors to wonder and possibility.
