When someone goes full designer mode the world can end up with some very confusing products, signs, and displays of architecture. Letting creativity loose is all good and fun, but there might be limits to it all. The difference between a design that struck gold for being so unexpected, and then ended up being a complete disaster is a fragile balance indeed. These designs certainly missed their mark.
1. The temp sensor looks just like a reset button.
Whoever was in the room drafting up this design plan might just have wanted other folks to have unnecessarily bad days as well.
2. This is supposed to mean reduced visibility.
They really let their creative inspiration run amok with the whole reduced visibility bit.
3. Wheelchair ramp or a mini mountain?
There’s no excuse for making this a literal maze. Come on now.
4. The garbage truck designers only allow the hood to open halfway.
As if the job wasn’t already going to be filled with its share of difficulties. Then they go and design a hood that can only be opened halfway.
5. A stunning book cover design from the local Dollar Store.
It’s never a good idea to go full designer mode. Nobody seems to win.
6. It’s as if they’re tempting the kids to eat the toy.
7. Get the ocean breeze and the bathroom breeze.
It seems like it’d be tough to relax in this room.
8. All the world’s chiropractors couldn’t fix this foot.
One has to wonder just where it all went wrong for this poor fellow.
9. They put the house number in the middle of a number grid.
Confuse the fire department with this one simple trick.
10. It’s actually a plastic toy and not candy.
It’s a terrible design, deceptive, and dangerous. Perfect.
11. Some wonderful leg-breaking stairs.
You can’t afford to not have your wits about you when traversing these stairs.
12. The knee-height microwave is no fun to use at all.
One can imagine how exasperating this would become to use over time.
13. The hotel room opted for a window into the bathroom.
Even worse, is that the word around town is that this is a thing now.
14. Yes, plumbing is so uncool.
If that’s the message that they were going for, then yes, they nailed it.
15. A life-threatening stair gap indeed.
It’s a horrifying wonder that this was even allowed in the first place.
16. Their porch drains directly onto their neighbors.
Hopefully they get along, because otherwise they have a terribly easy way to make their neighbor’s lives miserable.
17. Shoes that look like you just took a step into something cursed.
I guess it could be a great disguise if you actually did accidentally step on something nasty.
18. It turns out that there’s no way to get out of the maze in the first place.
19. This bathroom has all the glass walls.
Hopefully privacy was never a concern of yours.
20. An elevator at the department of architecture.
They’re really doing a great job at spreading the message that their architecture is next-level.
21. You simply may not have warm.
Warm water was always overrated anyways.
