In this paper, we present a selection of concepts drawn from recent debates in science and technology studies and consumption theory. We introduce notions of acquisition; scripting; appropriation; assembly; normalisation and practice with the aim of initiating an inter-disciplinary conversation about how designed artefacts are configured and appropriated and about how they structure the social practices and situations of which they are a part
