Definition:

Reduces memory consumption and creationation time by sharing objects in some state. A client can create only one sample of an object in some state and then after customizing it he can use it for his own purpose.

Example:

When all the household uses the same device we save money. For instance - we do not buy hair dryer for each family member. Hair dryer has several different functions and each inmate uses it as he or she prefers.
