Speculative design is a design practice that involves thinking about the future and asking questions like “what if?” and “for whom?” . It’s a subsidiary of critical design that was popularized by design academics Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby in the 1990s. Speculative design helps people explore complex problems, new perspectives, and imagination to imagine and shape possible futures. It can also help address big societal issues by creating products and services for those scenarios
