There’s good design. There’s bad design. And we can usually intuitively tell the two apart just by looking at it. But wait! There’s also ‘design design,’ a really weird category that straddles the line between quality aesthetics and truly awful taste. Some designers just don’t know when to stop designing their designy designs and go way overboard. Are we starting to sound redundant and over-complicated? Good, now you’re getting it!

The best (worst?) of these ‘designy designs’ end up being shared on the r/DesignDesign subreddit, an intriguing online community that both celebrates and criticizes these errr VeRy InTeReStInG aNd ArTiStIc ideas for products and furniture. We’ve collected some of the most bizarre and original pics to share with you, Pandas.

Scroll down, upvote the designs that really had an impact on you, and if you love what you see, consider becoming a member of the subreddit.

Bored Panda reached out to Matt Johnson, Ph.D., the host of the Consumer Psychology Blog and the Human Nature Blog, for a few insights on the importance of finding the right balance between the designer's vision for their product, as well as what would appeal to consumers. He told us that, at its core, user experience is about empathy. Johnson is a professor of consumer psychology at Hult International Business School and Harvard University, and the author of 'Branding that Means Business.' Read on for our interview with him.

    We were interested to learn more about the balance between what a designer wants from their product and what consumers look for. We asked Professor Johnson about what can help designers maintain a more grounded, user-friendly perspective.

    "Ultimately, good UX is an act of empathy. You have to filter your creative vision for the product through the lens of the consumer’s needs, unique preferences, and tendencies. This means creating a balance between your own aspirations for the product (e.g. what you think it could be), and how it will intuitively seem to the end user (how the user will actually be used)," he explained to Bored Panda.

    "Practically speaking, by inviting the consumer into the design process and getting feedback along the product development journey, the end result is much more likely to strike this balance." However, if there's only poor communication, you might end up with a disconnect between the two. Something that Piterskii-Punk-Wall accurately showed in their comic right over here.

    Johnson, the host of the 'Neuroscience Of' blog, told Bored Panda that the best and most beloved products integrate both perspectives: that of the designer, as well as of the consumer.

    "If the balance is tilted too far in the direction of the creator’s vision, as opposed to the user’s intuition and needs, it comes off too much as a standalone work of art, and not as a functional product," he said.

    "This feels immediately obvious to the consumer: it's something that reflects an idea from a specific individual, but lacks the necessary translation to the broader world. In a word, it feels too much like ‘art,’" the professor told Bored Panda. He noted that this is perfectly fine and valuable in its own context. However, when it comes to the world of consumer products, there's a necessity for this additional layer of consumer empathy.

    It would be a nightmare to clean though. I think you would need a pressure washer at least once a week in order to remove the dirt from all the small crevases in those rocks, and then you would have to temporarely remove/cover up those plants in order to protect them from the spray. All in all, it would be a really impractical setup, unless you have enough money to not care about someone to spending way to much time on keeping it sanitary.

    As a shower room, fine, odd but could be done. There are even tubs that would blend well with it. But the toilet? Nope. If you e got enough to make that, you've definitely got enough to put the toilet in its own room.

    If the showerhead doesn't spray out, and just straight down, the plants shouldn't get any hot water where they are, just misting which should cool by the time it reaches them (based off how the mist hits me and makes me chilly in our shower just before I get under the nice warm water)

    I remember a pub in Sheffield ( England) where the women's toilets were like this - but with cubicles. The plants were huge with trees painted on the walls and ceilings and a soundtrack of tropical bird sounds. The downside was that the room was far too dark to check your hair and make up in the mirror...

    I agree with the floors being an issue, especially for slipping. Maybe switch to regular tile, put a small border along the areas you don't want water (like the toilet, and gravel) and put down some clear sticky pads (and also work out a good heating source for after you turn the water off in the winter and have to walk all that way to the nearest towel hanger.) Or maybe there's a solution with epoxy flooring to cover the rocks but still have it look rocky, but idk how well it holds up to showering.

    As we see it, there are two main issues at play here when we’re talking about designy designs, aka over-designed products. Both explain, at least in part, why some creative professionals go completely overboard.

    The first is a question of theory vs. practice and how even the best-laid plans don’t necessarily translate into reality. The second is about the relationship between the designer and their (real or imagined) audience—aka the end-users and consumers.

    You might have an utterly amazing idea for a product or piece of furniture in your mind. Maybe you’ve even sketched it out! But even though the concept looks amazing on paper, it might not be the best fit for consumers. Something that any creator would be terrified to learn only after launching the idea into the market.

    Maybe what you’ve come up with is more akin to art and is radically impractical to use every single day. Or the item is incredibly complex and unintuitive to the average shopper on the highstreet: something that you might not realize because you’ve spent so long on the design, you know it like the back of your hand. It’s a case of design short-sightedness where the professional can’t see the forest for the trees.

    Meanwhile, the professional in charge of designing the product might be completely disconnected from their intended consumers. This might happen due to a lack of information on buying trends or because of less-than-stellar communication between them and their customers. That means that the designer is essentially stuck inside a bubble with only their own ideas to consider, with very little (if any!) outside feedback.

    However, another possible explanation for this disconnect between designers and consumers can be attributed to a more human factor. Namely, arrogance. It’s perfectly fine, even praiseworthy, that you’re confident about your work and that you feel pride in what you’ve achieved. Unfortunately, this can sometimes overshadow the end goal of what’s being sold, namely, that people want to buy and use what you’re offering.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Perhaps the creator feels like they have far better taste than the would-be buyers. So they want to ‘enlighten the masses’ (or something equally as pompous). Here’s the thing, though. Even if it’s a well-intentioned idea to want to educate people about good taste, there are different ways to go about it.

    To put it mildly, it’s not the best idea to go about bragging to everyone how much more educated and intelligent you are while poking fun at them for being tasteless. However, when you come from a place of humility and a genuine desire to help, others are more open to what you have to say.

    At the same time, no matter how successful and well-received a designer’s work might have been in the past, it doesn’t guarantee that their next idea will be good. Multi-functional furniture might not have the mass appeal that they hope it will, meaning it’ll remain a niche product for very niche buyers.

    Similarly, even if your lovingly-crafted set of cutlery is pleasant to look at, it might be utterly atrocious to eat with, so you’re left with a decorative piece that very few people actually like.

    🤣 That something like that could happen in Germany (the land of rules, law and order). FYI: it isn't even allowed to have your car painted in a too shiny/extravagant color, as it could distract other road users.

    The r/DesignDesign subreddit was founded a few years ago, in mid-July of 2018. Since then, they’ve amassed a following of 120k redditors. The moderators running the whole show stress the fact that the pics shared by the members of the community have to be, at the same time, examples of good and awful design. There should be a balance between the two.

    Meanwhile, the mods also ask their members to avoid reposting other people’s photos too much. “Reposts are OK as long as the post hasn't been submitted in 6 months or more than 3 times,” they set out the rules. That way, the content’s kept fresher and it helps avoid people farming attention just for the sake of attention.

    Broadly speaking, taste might be subjective (e.g. preferences for minimalism or maximalism), but there are many things that we can agree on that do and don’t make much sense. If a product is user-friendly, ergonomic, intuitive to use, and matches our expectations, then we can say that it’s an example of good design.

    On the flip side, something that’s more like a puzzle that requires an IQ of 160 to figure out won’t get many smiles from the crowd (unless they bought it specifically because they love over-designed, over-complicated stuff). Put the user first and you can’t go wrong. Put your designs above them and you might end up in the grey zone where quality and awful taste meet.

    The Juicero press - apparently the most pointless (and expensive) "juicer" ever.

    from the comments on the OP: That’s a Japanese masu. And it’s how sake is served at traditional events like weddings. In modern times you’ll get them frequently if you order sake in many izakaya or Japanese restaurants and bars too! Usually the sake glass (like a shotglass but a little bigger) or ceramic choko (that you can see just to the right of the box) is put IN the box and it’s filled to overflow into the box. You drink the glass and then drain the overflow remnants from the box - the wood adds to the texture/flavour. Someone has obviously taken some creative liberty by deciding that beer can go in there too. It appears to be a Japanese restaurant anyway. So while BEER in it is not the norm, it’s pretty easy to see what has happened here.

    This design goes far, far back. The first instance I am aware of is a design by Giugiaro for the Chevrolet Corvair in the early 60s. Giugiaro reused and expanded the concept on the Oldsmobile INCAS prototype in the mid-80. Around the same time, it was included in the groundbreaking Mazda MX-03 prototype, a car with 4-wheel steering, digital dashboard and fly-by-wire controls. BMW, MG, Lexus, Toyota have cars, or at least recent patents, about cloche-style steering wheels, and this kind of wheel is standard on F1 racing cars since the 90s

    It's a flour shaker, not salt, which is pretty clever
