Bad designs can be sorted into two categories. The non-functional everyday items, that make our lives much more challenging and stressful. And the ones that look so bad that we see them as hilarious and quirky pieces to collect and show to our friends. Either way, we should keep in mind that even bad designs were created by someone who had good intentions at heart, and that everyone is allowed to fail from time to time.
Now I’ve Seen Everything has collected a bunch of designs so surprisingly outrageous that they will catch your breath and give you a good laugh.
