If you're a regular Bored Panda reader, you've probably seen one of our pieces on bad design. (If not, you can go through a crash course here, here, and here). It's actually one of our favorite topics.

But every once in a while we feel like we need to equalize the scales, and show some good creations too. Roughly half a year ago, we turned to the Instagram account 'Design Therapy' to do so. And it worked like a charm — the social media startup is an excellent source for exploring innovation.

So now, since they've kept active and shared plenty of awesome content, we decided to do an update.

Continue scrolling to check out cool cat towers, glass chairs, toy pianos, and many more visionary products. The future is now, folks, and it's up to us to reinvent it the way we like it.

I like it! Creative ways to objectify men and the ideal male body, which is surprisingly delicious when warmed up.

And then, when the lights turned off, the cleaning lady thought it was garbage and threw it away... and nobody could blame her

This would be neat if I wanted people to ring my doorbell, which I however do not.

I just learned how to make balloon dogs with my daughter. This must've taken a little while to complete.

Am I the only one to think about how little ink is in there, so you'd need to replace them all the time?

Having been called a gweilo for most of my adult life, I find the name of the lamp amusing.

This is interesting. An actual competitive ping-pong game can be played here (with a slight rule modification).

I feel like this would ruin the covers of some books due to unequal pressure.

"I want to be unable to reach my books easily but also to put a permanent dent in the spine and maybe potential water damage. What've you got for me?"

A lot of books are different lengths these days so may not be very efficient?

If the table actually had a wooden circle surface on the top, it would be a great idea. This is just risky

I'd b so pissed because really, how often are the books you want going to actually be the right/same size?

Yah there should be a top so a glass doesn't get set on a book.

You can only use a little of the table, I personally don’t think it’s practical

Even without the damage issues, I don't like stacking books upward. Too hard to remove one, even harder to get the others lifted up to put it back if you don't want it on top.

Only works for mass-produced health books which are all the same dang size for some reason and talk about everything from anger to g-spots.

It should have a glass or plastic top, just slide the books out and no spills down the shoot.

I bet the book I'd like to add to that would be a couple of centimetres too big.

Doesn't seem very practical, if you want to take a book from the bottom.

Did anybody else try to read the titles of the books, or is it just me. I do that any time I see a picture of a room with books.

The size limit of books that’ll fit makes this so useless. Not to mention trying to actually get a book out.

Getting the bottom books out would be a bit of a hassle, I think

This reminds me of something called a 'tulpenvaas', a Dutch vase for tulips. They were invented when tulips were very expensive. Because of the vases design you needed less tulips for a full looking bouquet.
