Design Fiction?
Design Fiction is a creative anticipatory approach enabling to envision and to experience possible futures and other presents.
Through the creation of fictional artefacts and services straight from tomorrow, Design Fiction stimulates reflection and imagination to guide the decisions made today.
Activities ↓
Design Fiction scenarios and experiences
We imagine and prototype speculative narratives that shed light on the possible evolutions of our society and its stakeholders
Workshops & participatory formats
From co-creation of scenarios to debate sessions, we design and facilitate formats that foster collective projection into futures and their challenges.
Speculactive tools
We develop toolkits that help transition from fiction to action, supporting public debate and organisational strategy.
Research-creation
We accompany researchers who experiment with new ways of exploring futures and question their limits.
Game Design Fiction
At the intersection of foresight and game-based mediation, we build ludic frameworks to play, replay, and counterplay futures.
Introduction to Design Fiction
We share our insights and reflections on exploring futures to help organisations and schools embrace this approach.
