Anti-objects

In this project, I explored the use of affordances in design. My thoughts were shaped by Donald A. Norman’s book “The design of everyday things”. According to his definition “Affordances provide strong clues to the operation of things.” Anti-affordances are misleading and confusing properties of objects that prevent them from being used as intended. As a part of this project I created objects with deliberate anti-affordances which rendered them “useless”.
