Skeuomorph

A skeuomorph is an object that retains design features that are no longer needed. A typical example would be pillars on the front of a building where the pillars are no longer needed for structural integrity.

In user interfaces, we sometimes see screens that are mocked up to look like antique screens or the interfaces they replace (e.g. a radio).
