Today at Bored Panda, we're beaming with uncontained excitement to showcase some of the most inventive and unexpected designs that have crossed our path this time around. You might think about what designs we have in mind... but well, where's the fun if we spoil everything right away, huh?
Still, perhaps we could give you a little insight into what awaits when you scroll down, though. As you take the dive and scroll down, Pandas, be prepared to marvel at things like a hospital that boasts a faux LED window on its ceiling for a dose of virtual sunshine, or a dental office that's gone the extra mile with their landscaping, sculpting their shrubs into molar masterpieces.
And hey, if you've ever pondered bathroom designs, there is a brewery that steps up with a unique take: no gender-specific bathrooms, just stalls distinguished by the type of toilet they house. Intrigued yet?

Local Mattress Store Gives You A Mini Mattress For Your Doggie When Buying A Regular One
Thats cute, so when the dog takes over your bed you can sleep on his mattress on the floor.
Facts. Especially if it's a really tiny dog as everyone knows they defy the laws of physics where bed sharing is concerned.

This mattress is perfect to put on top of my mattress. Gunner loves pretending he is taller than me
OMG! I literally just squeeed! That is so freaking precious I can't stand it, little chiwinkie on his little mattress in his little sweater. So discriminatory though, my human person disguised as a cat would love that mattress too

The Local Brewery Doesn't Have Gender-Specific Bathrooms, Only Stalls With A Specific Type Of Toilet
Should be standard in all public toilets. With doors like those without any gaps, of course.
Load More Replies...Seems this would solve the problem for all sides of the argument. Inclusive for everyone AND complete privacy. This should become the new standard.
I used to live in Poulsbo! My mom still does. I'll come check you guys out on my next visit to the PNW!!
Load More Replies...Urinals are quicker and more convenient for most men and they use less water. Using a urinal means no lifting the dirty seat and fewer wet spots for those who do need to sit.

My Tires Have Percentages Cast Into The Rubber That Slowly Appear The More Miles You Drive So You Know How Much Tread Depth Is Remaining
Unless people read it like battery life and wait till 1% to change them.
Load More Replies...Not so useful... You see those small "bridges" on the right, into the grooves? They are thread markers. If they are flush with the thread surface the tire is to be replaced. you can easily eyeball the remaining tire life by looking at how deep the inset is.
thank you (i take note). but as a total ignorant on tire's life, I understand a percentage faster than a depth of grooves :)
Load More Replies...or you could just look (... drumroll ...) at the tread. Am I wrong??
The life of a tire does not only depend on its wear. Rubber is also affected by the effects of time and the environment.
I put high performance summer tires on my wife's car. We don't get a lot of rain so wet performance isn't a high priority. She has a short commute, so they will likely age out before they wear out. She's a leadfoot, and can use all the traction she can get.
Load More Replies...Is it though? That little "bridges" next to the percentage already indicate when the tyre is done
Load More Replies...Probably Nokia. They also sell winter/snow tires with a snowflake molded onto the tread. When the snowflake has worn away the tires are still good for regular use (until they're worn to the wear bars) but no longer useful for extreme cold or snow.

Load More Replies...Instead of a banana...for scale, the thickness of earth's atmosphere is equivalent to the thickness of a piece of paper laid on the globe...~0.003". So, as below, the geology is a tad exaggerated.
Well yes, but this globe is highly exaggerated. I fact, if you shrink the earth down to the size of a bowling ball (like this), it will be even smoother than a bowling ball.

These Dog Shampoos Were Tested On Humans
Although they can be a bit pricey, Paul Mitchell makes wonderful shampoo and conditioner for humans. I'll have to try this out on my pups.
When I had to eventually start giving my elderly cat baths, I’d use Aveeno baby shampoo because I didn’t trust the quality of the brands made for animals… But this is indeed awesome!
Load More Replies...Unfortunately this might give some people the impression that "if it's safe for me...der....must be safe for my puppers!" It's not just stuff that your pets ingest that you have to worry about. Think of how many plastic wrapped frozen food stuffs direct you to "remove from plastic before cooking" that wasn't voluntary, a consumer was dumb, something bad happened and the court system had to force them to acknowledge that "some people are really, really stupid" Pet products aren't something to joke about.
It about time the humans were tortured and tested on instead of those poor precious lab animals 😭
Although these products are probably okay, not everything that's good for humans is also good for dogs!

Candy Kitten sweets are amazing. Most if not all of their sweets are vegan and the flavours are really different but nice. Also owned by Jamie Laing, whose grandfather invented the digestive and rich tea biscuits. A little pointless fact for you.

anyone who knows braille know if the letters on the box say anything? Googling the Braille alphabet shows none of the letters match up with the dots on the box
Braille is a nice touch unfortunately it is becoming a lost art. Less than 10% of the blind in the US can read it and the number is declining each year.
That's interesting. When I did my community teaching placement in a special school in Australia 10 years ago they were still using it (I remember not having seen until then the typing machine they used which punched the holes into the paper).
Load More Replies...I love the selection! That company could put more inspirational women such as Susan B. Anthony, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and more.

Definitely not 'hands'. If I MUST pick up dog poo with a naked hand, then you can be utterly sure it will be just the one hand. The other hand will be kept clean so I can get my keys, open the front door, open the door to door to a room with a sink so I can wash my dirty hand.

Load More Replies...Mailboxes fascinate me. Honestly its so weird to me as we just have letter boxes and I'm so lazy I don't even check that every day and its INSIDE my house.. let alone walking down the drive to get my post!
My letter box is like three feet away from the front door… Did I check it today? Nope! That might be my anxiety though…
Load More Replies...Letter carrier here, I don’t think that’s a mailbox but, maybe, a birdhouse. Where it is situated doesn’t lend itself for delivery ease. (Don’t want to walk in somebody’s flower bed.) Plus, unless it is on the side of the box I can’t see, there is no aperture big enough to get the mail delivered.
Or is this a Little Free Library? It's not USPS approved design and I don't think the USPS would approve it.
Always confused me as a UK resident where your mail (post) goes into a letter box which is built into your wall, so that the post goes into your house. It just makes sense no? No one can steal your pay check / important letters / confidential medical stuff / things you've paid for. It's weird to just leave it in a box which anyone walking past on the street can just open and take it out. (Yes I see the jokes coming about how you only get bills so people can take them) but serious question - do you lock them? Do people not steal things?!
There is always the option of locking them in Australia, but many people don't, because it becomes an easy drop spot when selling something, or lending something etc. Often they are also made of brick/concrete (though wooden/aluminium are cheaper), especially if it's a block of flats. My grandad built one made of concrete that resembled a lighthouse, with a little concrete village below it for kids to play with, which had one part that locked, for letters, and one below that didn't, as a discreet place for packages, before it was common for them to be delivered to the door. There are often pvc pipes or similar connected to the side or below, for rolled up newspapers to be put in too, though less and less common on new ones.

The Ceiling Lights In This Medical Test Lab Are In The Form Of Electrocardiogram

This Jeep Has Light Jeeps
Krone is a Germain manufacturer of large trailers for trucks. Their rear red lights are a crown ("Krone" is German for "crown" and the crown is the logo of the company). And of course there is the Mini (by BMW) that has 2 half UK flags as rear lights. The different elements of the flag (bars and triangles) each do one function: brake light, rear light, blinker. Each car year (or so) the functions move to a different position on the flag
The Union Jack Mini lights aren't standard equipment. They're optional from the dealer, or you can also get them in the aftermarket.
Load More Replies...This Is Carpet
I actually have seen this one in action - it is frequently used in retirement homes to improve traction for mobility impaired people, to reduce fall-induced injuries and to muffle sounds like a carpet while looking like a wood floor.
People who bang on about how awful wall-to-wall carpeting is seem to forget just how practical it is compared to slippery polished floors. As you say, it muffles sounds and helps reduce injuries. Area rugs are a trip hazard.
Load More Replies...Carpet, sucks. Horrible for indoor air quality, PITA to clean, harder to move your stuff around on, collects all flavor of hair like it won some sort of terrible lottery. Don't make your carpet look like hardwood floors, just have hardwood floors.

These Doughnuts Are Designed To Look Like The Classic Ones Out Of The Simpsons

Strawberry glaze sounds amazing but I'm fairly sure that these are technically "frosted" with a basic sugar frosting dyed with food coloring, much like you'd see with Christmas decorated frosting in green or red, orange for Halloween, etc.. Glaze refers more to a coating of the entire donut as opposed to "topped' with frosting the way these donuts are prepared

This Local Yogurt Brand Has The Names Of The Cows Whose Milk Is In The Yogurt On The Side Of The Jar
This one's featured in posts where some snowflake complained about the sexism inherent in giving them all typically female names...
I love this. Also I'd cry my eyes out if one morning I found one cow missing. Note: Then I'd cry my eyes out again when I notice a new one, knowing that she is the new starter and probably the other cows are nice to her and she's doing her best.
Killing the calves makes no sense economically. I understand that *some* major farming companies have cruel practices, but in free range type farm, the calves stay with the mother and excess is milked a few times a day because female cows will continue to produce as much as is needed. Normally the male calves are just raised for meat and live out happy little lives in a field with many friends (though the people that sell them to veal farms can go to hell). I have nothing against vegans because it isn't my place to judge people's personal diets, but a lot of it is just straight fake propoganda to try to make you feel bad for consuming livestock.

This Water Bottle With A 3D Matterhorn Mountain
if you sell water at 1000 times the cost, you can waste some more plastic on clever design...
Wow. That....just, really "neat" design really makes up for the 500,000,000,000 plastic bottles that humanity burns through each year, 35 billion of which are attributed to AMERICAN WATER BOTTLS, 300 million tons of plastic produced each year, 50% of which is single use, 8 million tons end up in the ocean every 12 months, only 10% of the plastic EVER produced has been recycled, all so people can drink the same exact water that comes out of their TAP, for a 10,000% markup! But sure, look at the little mountain, that should be the takeaway. FFS...
It's a subreddit for neat design, so yes, the mountain is indeed the intended takeaway here. I agree that there's a big problem with people drinking from plastic bottles when they don't need too, but it's the most cost efficient way for people without access to safe water (think flint michigan) to get water, and at mass events where you can't just hand out a tumbler to everyone. Water bottles aren't the problem, overconsumption is.

Canada Coffee Shop's Door Handle
I was at Burger King the other day at the drive thru. They had taped the debit machine to a hockey stick so they could pass it through the window. It was a "Tell me you are in Canada, without telling me you are in Canada" moment.
In all fairness, during the height of Covid, a LOT of places were doing that. It's a convenient stick that most former and current athletes seemed to have in the corner...
Load More Replies...Not any coffee shop, it's a Tim Hortons, who WAS a hockey player. It's not random canadiana, it's because it was founded by a former hockey player. They even give away hockey cards certain time of the year. I don't like coffee so I'm not a fan, but they're everywhere.
I didn't know he was a hockey player, would have been an interesting bit of trivia to pick up when I was dragged to the hockey museum in Toronto

Saw These Ultra-Minimalist Public Chairs
I'll be honest... If I saw these, I'd be sure they took the bench planks for painting or repair... Then I'd look for a place to sit.
This is a textbook example of hostile architecture. The reason for this design choice is not a cool look (I have to admit, those chairs have that), but to prevent teh homeless from sleeping on them, and additionally to be less comfortable when sitting, thus reducing the length of stay.
Nah. No thanks. Normal benches work just fine and have the added benefit of being a bed for the homeless
so, the inhabitants take out their own bench (next to the entrance of the building) :D anarchy !!!!

It looks so round. My brain refuses to register it as a dice.
I've seen them. Neat idea but they can take a long time before they come to a stop So usefulness can be a problem. They typically have small flat areas on each number to determine where it stops. I've seen perfectly spherical ones that have a weight inside of them but those are of the smaller number variety. Yes, I'm a old school table top gamer.
Load More Replies...Not really. Rolling 2 10 sided dice is more common. Often a set of dice will have a 10 sided die with 1-10 and a second die with 10, 20, 30 ect. A 100 sided die is just too round to be very practical.
