There are few feelings in the world that compare to seeing a really cool design idea. Like, there’s something about finding one that’s both satisfying and exciting.
The designs in this list definitely scratch that itch. I mean, just look at them! They’re so much cooler than anything I could ever think of. Which, of course, makes them all the more impressive.
“Net designed to keep the Strom [sic]water drain clean from plastic and other waste.”
On one hand, it’s pretty sad that it has to come to this. But on the other hand, just think about how handy this could be! You wouldn’t have to worry about accidentally losing something down the sewers.
“Heart-shaped pair of ribeyes for Valentine’s Day.”
This is honestly such a cute idea. It would make for a really special date night, or even a fun night alone when you just really want to have steak that also happens to be shaped like a heart.
“Icepack from an ugly vegetable delivery box is plant food.”
To clarify, OP meant that the vegetables they send are the “ugly” or undesirable ones stores usually just get rid of. Which honestly makes this idea so much better; everything about it fights to reduce waste!
“This vending machine only sells cheese to make fondue or raclette.”
I’m a pretty simple person. I see a vending machine filled with something unconventional, and I can’t help but be obsessed with it.
Like, this one has cheese? Cheese ? Amazing.
“Exit signs near the floor in case of fire!”
I can’t believe I’ve gone my entire life without seeing something like this before! They always teach us to stop, drop, and roll in case of a fire, but never how to find the exit while you’re crawling around.
“This LED clock.”
I have to admit, this clock is pretty awesome. It’s minimalist, but you can still actually read it, which is what’s most important. I kind of wish I had one of my own, now.
“These minimal playing cards.”
Is it just me, or are these cards giving off some serious Squid Game vibes? Probably all the minimalism and the super simple shapes. Either way, I’d totally play a game with these cards (but I’d be reading the rules real carefully beforehand).
“Thor’s Hammer Toolbox.”
Sure, Thor’s hammer may not be the most convenient tool to use , but it sure does make a great shape for a toolbox! I don’t use a lot of tools, but I would if my toolbox looked like this one.
The way everything makes so much sense in this business card.

This is honestly the cleverest way to format a business card. Not only does it tell you everything you need in a single line, but it’s so pleasing to look at. Love this!!
“The charger that sits flat on my belly so that I don’t bend and break it.”
I actually used to own a pair of wired earbuds that had a cable like this. I seriously don’t get why more chargers aren’t built like this.
Maybe because the make more money if you have to keep replacing yours…
A mug that’s made to look like cardboard.
Everything about this is so cool! I’m honestly having a hard time telling whether it’s actual cardboard, or just very cleverly dressed ceramic. Either way, I love it.
“This Argentinian empanadilla shop has the contents of the empanadilla written so you don’t get confused.”
Yes, this is in Spanish (it’s Argentina, after all), but I feel like this kind of concept could be used on all sorts of other food items. Just to make sure people don’t get confused and stuff.
“Slack tells you what time it is for the other person, in case you might be texting them outside of working hours.”
That’s pretty clever right there. To be honest, it feels like Slack has a lot of really cool, subtle design details that help make the application a lot more user friendly.
“They have different photos of different size models wearing it. Granted, the bigger models are also taller, thereby looking thinner than most people that size. But still. Not bad.”
I think most of us can agree that clothes will look different on us than on the size XS models, so being able to see a different size could make such a huge difference! What a nice little detail.
RELATED STORIES
Deciem letting people know it’s about to change its pricing, and letting people buy before the change.
That’s pretty awesome. A lot of places would just raise their prices without telling anyone. This kind of idea is just a nice way of showing that you actually care about your customer base.
“Wonderful paintbrush packaging.”
This is actually so clever. When you think about it, paintbrushes do kind of look like facial hair, so this isn’t really all that far off!
“This frozen food bowl has the cooking instructions on the film.”
It’s amazing how something so simple can actually be so innovative. Like, let’s be real, no one wants to have to keep the whole packaging around while you’re cooking one of these things.
“This box of rice says exactly how much rice is in it rather than make people rely on weight.”
I like this because it’s not lying about how much of the box is actually air. Sure, we could complain about the excess space in general, but at least they’re honest.
“The Coke bottle on this cup is transparent so the bottle empties as you drink.”
That’s both cute and clever! Sure, it may not have any sort of real function to it, but sometimes a design just has to be fun in order for it to be good.
“Decathlon attach their clothes labels to a little strip of extra fabric, so you can easily cut it off without leaving a scratchy little nub.”
I hate clothing tags, but I hate those itchy nubs you get when you cut them off even more. But this? This is pure genius. Every clothing company needs to do this.
