“Polysemy” is an object that embodies multiple functions—such as a bookshelf, side table, and more—simply by changing the way it is placed.
The term polysemy refers to something having multiple meanings. Artificial objects are typically defined by a single function: a chair is a chair, a table is a table. In contrast, “Polysemy” avoids prescribing a fixed role, allowing it to adapt to different spaces and situations in a variety of ways.
