Think of some great designs of the modern era. Like iPhone, Tetra Pak, Post-It, Zippo, the list is endless. How would you describe it? Simple, smart, timeless, appealing, intriguing, engaging, well, basically everything but what you’re about to see in this post.

Because we’re about to dive into the collection of pics that put design to shame. Whether it’s a product, window, furniture, interior, poster design, you name it, they all have some pretty bad examples they would much rather forget.

So without further ado I leave the stage to a bunch of aesthetic apocalypses from this amusing corner of Reddit that will make you appreciate whatever it is that you have at home, even that old broken chair that’s barely alive, because it could be worse. Worse squared.

Psst! After you’re done, treat yourself with more epic design fails from our previous posts here, here and here.
