A selection of interesting designs of different things (16 photos)
Sometimes design goes beyond simple convenience and becomes a powerful means of self-expression - it can cause surprise, a smile, bewilderment or irritation. Such solutions are often inferior in functionality: daily use turns out to be difficult, specific operating conditions are required, or such objects are perceived more as works of art than utilitarian everyday things. However, it is precisely this non-standard nature that makes them significant - because they embody the boldness of ideas, a fresh look at ordinary objects and a willingness to implement something unusual in real life.
