40 Examples Of Innovative And Awesome Design Collected By The “Design Therapy” Instagram Account (New Pics)
Aesthetics are a pretty subjective notion. Everyone has their favorite color, patterns, textures and so on. That being said, it’s very easy to find designs that probably needed a bit more time on the drawing board. You have probably run into a billboard or an item from Ikea that makes you wonder what they were thinking!
Fortunately, the ideas below are different. The Instagram account Design Therapy is devoted to showcasing interesting and innovative designs, from kitchen solutions to architecture. It has amassed over 250 thousand followers with ideas that are both engrossing and soothing.
Upvote and comment on your favorites, and if you are still interested in examples of therapeutic design, check out Bored Panda’s other collections of awesome designs here. Or, if you want a bit of contrast, take a look at some examples of bewilderingly terrible design here.

Drone Light Restoration Of Ancient Building

This is Whitby abbey, I live in Whitby, this wasn't done with drones, it was just done by someone "painting" dots on a picture in photoshop or something. Would be cool to see it with actual drones though.

Is this real? It is quite impressive. I have seen some very impressive drone displays as "fireworks" displays but I feel it is extra impressive to make a complicated shape with 100s of coordinated drones ==AND== have that shape lined up perfectly with a building on the ground.

As gorgeous as this is, moving stones near water to create sculptures is devastating to that ecosystem. Localities are putting signs up asking people to stop this trend. It erodes the sand/beach/ soil that the stones normally keep in place, impacts filtering, flora and fauna. Please don’t do this. Like glitter (something else I love), it looks beautiful but is actually genuinely destructive.

Geometry Of The Body By Lin Yung Cheng
Cassi Lyris 2 years ago
Man, I can't draw a circle that nice flat on paper! Very lovely and well done.
Humans enjoy being surprised, and clever and interesting designs often provide just that. The sight of an unexpected form, material or function can be truly captivating and bring a smile to one's face. This is why so many people love to collect odd and unique objects, from whimsical sculptures to unusual pieces of furniture.
There is a certain method to our preferences madness. It’s probably not a surprise that symmetry seems naturally pleasing. Researchers Yi Huang, et al. found that our brains enjoy looking at symmetrical patterns more than asymmetrical alternatives. Young children will even stare at symmetrical objects for longer, even though similar, asymmetrical objects generally have more details.

Neat! This deserves MUCH more love! It's a painting by Spanish street artist Pejac (https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce01REntiVk/), WELCOME, in Aberdeen, Scotland, positioned outside a building housing many charities. From his Insta: "Created for all those who feel themselves marginalized, foreign and discriminated against, this agglomeration turned into a doormat greets anyone who wishes to be welcomed." He describes it as symbolizing that people are "tired of being stepped over" here (great pics too): https://mymodernmet.com/pejac-welcome-nuart-aberdeen/

I don't get it. Is jt just a painting on the paving stone? If so, it's not really a functional doormat right? I mean those things are meant to absorb mud etc...?
In fact, our brains really crave novelty. While studying the brain's response to a series of images, researchers Nico Bunzeck and Emrah Düzel found that whenever participants would see something unexpected, their body would produce dopamine. Think about that, novelty directly affects the pleasure centers of the brain. So try something new, even if its just a new recipe or lock screen background!

There are hardly words to describe that amazing feat of human engineering genius once you've seen it in person. The smell, the Latin inscribed on small obelisks and plaques, and the sounds of cheers and jeers from almost 1950 years ago that you ask yourself over and over again if that's really what you're hearing? or is it just the lull of modern day Romans (literally, people from Rome) coming, going, and living their lives. It is a profound sight to see. I hope when you do get to see it for yourself it'll impress you the way it impressed me.

“Sharpener” Lighting Designed By Nanako Kume
Jes.the.Mess 2 years ago
I used to hide little jars of pencil shavings from my Prismacolor projects around my roommates room. I labeled the jars "Children of the Doomed". He was always puzzled by their appearance, but I never took credit. After a few months the apartment lease was up and we all went our separate ways... This particular friend ended up moving in with my sister, and so the Saga continued. These Children of The Doomed followed my completely baffled friend all throughout our state; on camping trips, at festivals, parties, etc, thanks to me, my sister and two other discreet people. Finally I moved out of state and it all stopped. When I moved back 15 years later I finally told him it was me, but at that point he wasn't mad or anything. Just glad to have an answer... I think I shall send him this lamp for his next birthday

I had a collection of pencil shavings in primary school! I think most people had a phase of painstakingly sharpening pencils to get that perfect frill. I don't know about other schools, but it was practically a currency!

Armed with this knowledge, we can consider ways to introduce some design principles into our own lives. For example, we could rearrange their furniture to make the most of their living space, or incorporate more natural light into their home by installing larger windows or using light-reflecting surfaces. Similarly, we could choose furniture, décor, and accessories that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Another possibility is to look for solutions to everyday problems that are both efficient and visually appealing. For example, instead of using a cluttered collection of plastic containers to organize a pantry, someone could use elegant glass jars with labeled lids to create a functional and attractive storage solution. Minimalism might appeal to others, since removing clutter from a space can make it more functional and give it some novelty.

I do not understand why this place's web site bills it as a luxury resort. It looks like a bomb shelter inside and out and you apparently have to really like the Utah dessert. For $3,400 to over $7,000 USD per night I can have a really good time somewhere else. PERSPECTIVE: A month long trip to the Philippines including airfare, meals, renting a house and everything else - cost me less than ONE NIGHT in their cheapest room. And the stuff I saw was a lot more interesting than dirt and rocks in the distance. I also got to swim in awesome clear blue ocean as well as pools that looked nicer than the one pictured.

I don't really think this counts as a design. It doesn't take a whole lot of imagination or talent to come up with the idea to draw a basically straight line, however it does take A LOT of both of those qualities to be able to make people think that it's an amazing idea.
Madangbal 2 years ago
More or less the definition of art, good job :) These are not mere straight lines though, not even basically. They're taking anatomical context into account. I love when science and art converge. It has an entirely different effect on the observer as compared to design that is supported by science. Visual/philosophical vs functional inspiration.

Island Is A Double-Decker Driverless Tram Designed By @pontidesignstudiohk For Hong Kong In The Post-Covid Era
The name Island refers to the innovative design of the interiors, with large circular benches where passengers sit facing outwards.
The exterior design is inspired by Hong Kong buildings with curved curtain walls. Island’s curved windows and domed top draw in light by day and awe-inspiring views by night. The interiors are sleek and comfortable: charcoal gray walls, cushioned seats, wooden floors and trims with natural finish.
Island connects several elements of design and urban life: transportation, landscape and sightseeing, safety and comfort. It represents the forward-thinking spirit of Hong Kong, and redefines public transport for the post-Covid era. Island won the 2020 GIDA Design Award.

Had to look it up, regular PPD sofa retails for about $3000+ but THE Gucci PPD is...$100,000. And now you know that you can buy a sofa worth a small house (small town)

That is why they didn't have money to renovate the rest of the place. /s I was thinking recently that with the cost of living crisis we will all have soon industrial style at our homes aka unfinished renovation style. Somehow it is even esthetically appealing ti me.

I thought ergonomic essentially meant comfortable. This looks very un-ergonomic to me.

I’m guessing you could probably put the pillows in the washer and dryer, or dry clean, but the rest of it looks a pain to clean.

We have the Barbary Pirates to thank for that. So many people from coastal areas in Europe were captured and enslaved by the slave traders, that the remaining populations deserted the coastal areas and moved further inland, hoping to avoid the slave traders.

Err... What's the point here? Why have essentially two backs when one could do the job just as well, if only it had been designed properly in the first place? Is the front part which the model is sitting on designed to fit on a regular chair? The whole thing looks just really weird and very uncomfortable to sit on...

As someone without breasts, aren't bras optional? I know if you've been over blessed by the boob fairy your back will thank you, but for A/B/C/D people surely just don't wear one? Thank you for any explanations.

Bras are optional like shoes are optional. Even if you are more comfortable without them you may have to wear them for social acceptance reasons.

@studio_casti's Bbx66 Was Designed Starting From The Idea That It Would Be Placed Outdoors And Therefore Would Be Subject To Considerable Wear And Tear
Inasmuch, it had to be resistant to water and accidental bumps. It also had to be light enough to be transported and yet heavy enough not to flip over at maximum volume. It was intended only to have the power cable and the Bluetooth audio port.

Some of these weren't very practical but I still enjoyed seeing them. I suppose they were supposed to be thought provoking, which they were.
Kathy 2 years ago
Most of these items seem to have been made simply because of the designer's need to show how 'innovative' and 'out there' they are. There seems to be a constant need for designers to prove how different and unique they are, to the point where they go to extremes and lose sight of the final objective. The concepts may be visually pleasing, but the results are highly impractical and definitely not user friendly.
