10+ Times Clever Designs Really Impressed Us

I've got to tell you, I'm always really impressed when I stumble upon designs that seem to have been created by a genius. Am I alone in this thinking? I hope not.

There is something so special that happens to you when you see a clever design. You almost breathe a sigh of satisfaction. I hope that happens to you when you look at these.

1. These Mexican Coins

Check this out: Apparently, when you stack all these Mexican coins together, they form an Aztec calendar. Did you know about this? I certainly didn't. Isn't that so cool? I wish all coins could do something like that.

2. This Eraser

Check this out, this eraser turns into tiny Mount Fuji after you have been using it for some time. Isn't that such a great incentive to ensure that people are eager to use it? It's quite clever.

3. This Notebook

What is this stuff I'm looking at here? As it turns out, this notebook has hexagonal papers for drawing organic compounds. Oh my gosh, I never knew this even existed. I bet it's of great help to lots of students.

4. These Measuring Spoons

If you can believe it, these measuring spoons were designed to visually represent fractions for intuitive use. How cool that somebody thought of that, huh? I definitely like what I see here, and I would totally buy these.

5. This Squeegie Display

Somebody spotted this frosted mirror display for a squeegee at Ikea. Isn't this such a clever way to attract a consumer to a product? I would have stopped in my tracks to look at this.

6. This Building's Entrance

Here's an attractive way to get people to come and visit your business. This particular location was in Sacramento, California, and the chunk would slide open and closed. Wow! I wish there were more examples of architecture like this.

7. These Street Signs

Those who play video games would totally get this. These underground station signs near the PlayStation headquarters in Oxford Circus, London reflect the launch of the PS5. That is so awesome and cool. Am I right? I love it.

8. These Tiles

Did you realize that these tiles look like envelopes? Well, if you did, kudos to you. It's very fitting since they're at the US Postal Museum. I really like that somebody came up with something smart like this.

9. This Bridge

Can you believe that Vietnam’s Daring Golden Bridge looks as amazing as this? I'm absolutely obsessed with bridges, so it must be such a thrill to see it in person. I wonder how long it took them to build it.

10. This Piano-Inspired Coat Rack

What is this? Is it a coat rack or a shelf? Well, it's actually both. I can't get over how useful this design is here. It basically gives you all the hooks and shelves you would ever need.

11. This Library Bench

Where else would you put a bench that looks like a book than in a library? Together with these big gorgeous windows, this is one stunning design. I love how the light shines through this whole room.

12. These Bunk Beds

I have to tell you, I'm not a big fan of bunk beds. However, I think I might have to change my mind if they all looked like this. Who doesn't need a little bit of privacy, right?

13. This Squirrel Bar

Somebody actually designed and built this squirrel bar to feed their friendly squirrels. OMG, I so wish I had this for all our neighborhood critters. I can tell you right now they would have a field day with this.

14. This DVD Case

The DVD case for the movie _My Neighbor Totoro](https://www.reddit.com/r/DesignPorn/top/?t=all) contains a clever design. When you open the case, it looks like the little girls are staring at their reflections in a pool of water, but it's really just the DVD disc!

What did I tell you? Isn't this design at its best?

I think so. It goes to show you that when somebody is working with a clear head, anything is possible. Are you digging these designs as much as I do?
