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.

Not sure about this one. If you were to actually implement this, you would probably put several of them per block on several streets, and given that unlike an (ideal) streetlamp where the light points to the ground this has all the light pointing upwards to the sky and would increase the light pollution cities

On pourrait le mettre dans certaines départements où il y a pas de neige j'en connais quelques-uns mais c'est vrai que si une voiture se gare il n'y aura plus de lumière peut-être dans des rues piétonnes je sais pas avoir

What's exactly the purpose? To light the sidewalk or that you can recognize the curfew?

I would think for making sure pedestrians don’t trip or fall when it’s dark out. Also for helping drivers with parking and hitting the curb maybe?

Good Idea. The Yellow Etc. Stripes I have seen in other countries would be REALLY USEFUL in the USA. Seriously.

Loving this. Just enough light to guide you without the excess lighting that disturbs animals (migration, etc.) and adds to light pollution. Check out some of their other really cool designs: https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQB5cUDNgU/

Seriously? A spam response even in Pandaland? Knew it wouldn’t take that long.

Excellent. Technical improvements in lighting ought to be used in public places.

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

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).

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.
