There’s nothing more beautiful than an ugly product! While that might sound counterintuitive, you might soon realize that perfection is boring and it’s actually imperfection that can capture our imaginations in a far deeper and more satisfying way.

Founded back in 2013 by Swiss design wunderkinds Jonas Nyffenegger and Sébastien Mathys, the Ugly Design Instagram project has since then won over the hearts of over 668k fabulous fans. And they can’t wait for their latest posts about design decisions that break norms and jump into the deep end of what’s traditionally considered to be bad design.

Have a look through some of the best (or is that worst) new designs, as featured on the Ugly Design page, upvote the ones that got a reaction out of you, and let us know which ones you loved to hate the most in the comment section. Oh, and if you haven’t had your fill yet, check out Bored Panda’s first article about Jonas and Sébastien’s awesome project right over here.

The founders of the Ugly Design account shared with Bored Panda that there are "a lot of exciting projects" in the works. However, we'll have to patient, as they teased that there will be "more info next" year, so we'll have to wait for 2022 to see them. You'll find the rest of our interview with Jonas and Sébastien below.
