Interfaces are returning to skeuomorphism, but as behaviour rather than lacquer: clear, graphic elements that act like materials from the real world.

Design is how it works

designunder our view: The chat box was the door, not the room: the interface is being argued over again What does the interface become when a model is on the other side?under our view: The failure is the glass itself: hands, materials and physical feedback are what an interface owes us

What Sebastiaan de With actually said

  1. Sebastiaan de With Designer and co-founder of Lux, makers of Halide
    We’ve come back, in a sense, to skeuomorphic interfaces — but this time not with a lacquer resembling a material. Instead, the interface is clear, graphic and behaves like things we know from the real world, or might exist in the world. This is what the new skeuomorphism is. It, too, is physicality.
