Description:
How some design appears to be something that it is not-by beautifying, amusing, substituting, or deceiving.Pretense design pretends to be something that it is not. Pretense design includes all kinds of designed objects- a pair of glasses that looks like a fashion accessory rather than a medical necessity, a hotel in Las Vegas that simulates a Venetian ambience complete with canals and gondolas, boiler plates that look like steel but are vinyl. In this book, Danish designer Per Mollerup defines and describes a ubiquitous design category that until now has not had a name- designed objects with an intentional discrepancy between surface and substance, between appearance and reality.
