It really made me appreciate good product designers who make our lives easy with their creativity. Unfortunately, some of them are just not gifted enough and end up creating something weird. Believe it or not, but there are a lot of product designs that are an absolute failure. Some of them are so absurd, you wouldn’t know whether to laugh out loud or question the sanity of the designer. Just scroll down to check out these hilarious and nonsensical failed creations! ### The Expert's Take on Design Failures **Bored Panda** reached out to product designer **Sharanya Salehittal** for an interview. She believes that at the end of the day, a product design fails when it loses touch with reality. It doesn’t matter how sleek or futuristic an idea looks on a computer screen. If it doesn’t work for actual human beings in the real world, it’s a flop. Designers usually get tripped up by forgetting that they are building for people, not for their own egos. #### Common Traps in Design Our expert narrated that “the first big trap is solving a problem that nobody actually has. We see this all the time with hyper-complex gadgets that replace simple daily tasks: think of a smart device replacing a basic kitchen tool. When you over-engineer something, you end up creating a costly solution to a minor inconvenience, leaving users wondering why it exists in the first place.” Then, there’s the user experience. If someone has to read a thick manual just to figure out how to turn an object on or change a basic setting, the design has failed. Good products blend seamlessly into our daily habits. When a design conflicts with our natural intuition or forces us to think too hard, we quickly become frustrated and give up on it. #### Beauty vs. Utility Sharanya claimed that we also see designs fail when beauty gets in the way of basic utility. “Yes, everyone loves a gorgeous, minimalist aesthetic, but not if it makes the product harder to use. If you create a beautiful mouse but put the charging port on the bottom, it is totally useless while plugged in. You have valued how it looks over how it actually works,” she added. #### Physical Durability On the physical side, a design is bad if it can’t withstand the wear and tear of real life. Products need to survive being dropped, shoved into bags, or left in the sun. When companies cut corners on materials or fail to test for human clumsiness, things break, fail, or become safety hazards. ### What Makes a Great Design? While that was all about failed product designs, our expert also shared some wise words on successful ones. “Think about the best products you own. Chances are, you rarely think about them at all. That’s because truly great design is almost invisible. It quietly slips into your daily routine, solves your problem, and works without constantly begging for your attention,” she explained. #### Intuitive and Self-Explanatory A great product explains itself. You shouldn’t need to dig up a user manual or watch a tutorial video to figure out how to turn it on or open a lid. When a design is intuitive, its shapes, buttons, and textures naturally guide you, making the whole experience feel like second nature. #### Focus on Core Function A successful design also prioritizes doing its actual job quite well. Good designers don’t get distracted by flashy gimmicks or useless extra features just to look high-tech. Instead, they focus entirely on solving a real, everyday frustration and making sure the product delivers on that core promise every single time. #### Minimalist and Unobtrusive Another thing she pointed out about a really great creation is that it knows when to get out of the way. “It doesn’t clutter your living space with loud colors, flashing lights, or unnecessary details. By using ‘as little design as possible,’ it keeps things clean and simple, blending beautifully into the background when you aren’t using it.” #### Honesty and Durability “There’s also a deep element of honesty and durability. A well-designed product doesn’t pretend to be more premium than it actually is to trick you into a purchase. It’s built with quality materials, engineered to withstand real-world wear and tear, and designed to outlast passing, cheap trends.” ### Final Thoughts Eventually, she believes that a great design isn’t about making a loud artistic statement; rather, it’s about making your life just a little bit easier. When a creator successfully balances usefulness, simplicity, and longevity, they are giving you a reliable tool you can actually depend on. When we asked Sharanya if she had ever designed a product that was actually a big flop, she laughed and stated that obviously she has. “Not once or twice, but my designs have failed multiple times, not only when I was a student, but also after I started working professionally.” “But that’s the beauty of it all, because you always get a chance to redo things, and then create the best version ever. After all, the whole of life is a trial-and-error process, right?” While concluding the interview, Sharanya shared a peculiar product whose design she really admires: the **Sony Walkman**. “I consider that the Sony Walkman was forward-thinking, providing portable music with excellent design and longevity. It transformed personal audio and set the stage for MP3 players and smartphones.” Now, scroll through the gallery of 61 hilariously bad product designs that will make you appreciate good design even more!]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>productdesign</category> <category>designfails</category> <category>ux</category> <category>designthinking</category> <category>userexperience</category> <enclosure url="https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/failed-product-designs-fb.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How a Sri Lankan Courtyard House Transformed a Grade-II Listed English Cottage]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/how-a-sri-lankan-courtyard-house-transformed-a-grade-ii-listed-english-cottage</link> <guid>how-a-sri-lankan-courtyard-house-transformed-a-grade-ii-listed-english-cottage</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2026 18:01:04 GMT</pubDate> <description><  ]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>architecture</category> <category>courtyardhouse</category> <category>extension</category> <category>srilankandesign</category> <category>tropicalmodern</category> <enclosure url="https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2026/06/muttram-veedu-will-gamble-architects_dezeen_2364_col_12-hero.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Parisian Apartment Redefines 'Happy Gothic' with 18th-Century Charm and Modern Art]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/parisian-apartment-redefines-happy-gothic-with-18th-century-charm-and-modern-art</link> <guid>parisian-apartment-redefines-happy-gothic-with-18th-century-charm-and-modern-art</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 11 Jul 2026 18:00:59 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Custom circular seating under Aleksandar Pertemov's artwork.*  *Monolithic stainless-steel kitchen with cloud paintings by Mimi Gross.*  *Principal bedroom with restored ceiling fresco.*]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>interiordesign</category> <category>parisapartment</category> <category>happygothic</category> <category>historicrenovation</category> <category>artcollection</category> <enclosure url="https://media.architecturaldigest.com/photos/6a395f06f9dca8838bfb8754/16:9/w_1280,c_limit/EmptyName%201.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Project Runway Winners: Where Are They Now? From Christian Siriano to the Latest Champ]]></title> <link>https://www.designremotejobs.com/article/project-runway-winners-where-are-they-now-from-christian-siriano-to-the-latest-champ</link> <guid>project-runway-winners-where-are-they-now-from-christian-siriano-to-the-latest-champ</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2026 18:01:13 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[With season 22 of *Project Runway* premiering July 9 on Freeform, find out what all the previous winners of the O.G. favorite fashion design competition have been up to. One day you're in, and the next... Well, if you're a past winner of *Project Runway*, you'll never be all the way out, though of course the long-term success of those who triumph on reality competitions can vary to a wide degree. And now a new crop of designers will be hoping to stay in till the end when *Project Runway*'s 22nd season premieres July 9 on Freeform. Having returned to the show last year after almost a decade away, **Heidi Klum** is back as host, while past guest judge **Tyra Banks** is now a fixture on the panel alongside fellow exacting fashion experts **Nina Garcia** and stylist **Law Roach**. While everyone who parades a look past the judges will want to be on top, only so many will get to stay there—and only one designer's collection will be deemed the ultimate winner at season's end. ## Season 1: Jay McCarroll We'll never forget **Jay McCarroll**'s incredible finale show, with each autumn-themed look color-coordinated to match a pair of headphones. Despite having never won a challenge, he was still a worthy winner. He started a blog and stayed in the press for a while with a documentary, a feature film and a line sponsored by the Humane Society. Most recently, he worked in the wardrobe department of the HBO limited series *Mare of Easttown*. ## Season 2: Chloe Dao **Chloe Dao** won an iconic season of *Project Runway* up against **Santino Rice** and **Daniel Vosovic**. And while a lot of people were rooting for Daniel, you can't argue that Chloe didn't deserve the win. In 2013, she became a judge on the Vietnam version of *Project Runway*. ## Season 3: Jeffrey Sebelia Not a lot of fans were thrilled when Jeffrey took home the win after spending the whole season as the villain, making moms cry and making us question his decision-making skills every single time we saw his neck tattoo. After a couple of failed lines and companies and a stint on *Project Runway: All Stars*, he now seems to be doing pretty well designing clothes for kids. ## Season 4: Christian Siriano Rarely does a glamorous event go by without a Christian Siriano creation on the red carpet. The fiercest of them all, Christian's eponymous label has proved especially popular with celebrities—from **Taylor Swift** to **Leslie Jones** to **Michelle Obama**—and he's served as resident workroom mentor on *Project Runway* since 2019. ## Season 5: Leanne Marshall **Leanne Marshall** was known for the feminine waves she loved to incorporate into looks, and her finale show was that to a T. Now, she puts that signature feminine stamp on all her clothes, but she's mostly known for her gorgeous wedding dresses. ## Season 6: Irina Shabayeva The Georgia native's armor-inspired finale collection was truly badass, though she wasn't all that pleasant to watch during her season. Since then, she competed on *Project Runway: All Stars* twice, and now she's doing lots of collections to benefit charities and is known for her bridal designs, too. ## Season 7: Seth Aaron Henderson After winning *Project Runway*, he went on to win season three of *Project Runway: All Stars*—becoming the first designer to win both. He returned to compete on season 7 of *All Stars* in 2019, but was the second designer eliminated. The reality star has become known for his sustainable designs as well as creating shoes with 3D printers. ## Season 8: Gretchen Jones No joke, we have still not forgiven *Project Runway* for crowning the boring bully Gretchen over **Mondo Guerra** in season 8. Mondo did go on to win the first season of *All Stars*, but we're still mad. As of 2018, Gretchen graduated from the London College of Fashion with an MBA. ## Season 9: Anya Ayoung-Chee Regardless of her (serious) lack of sewing skills, beauty queen Anya was a fan favorite from the beginning, so it wasn't much of a shock when she took home the win. Maybe not the most fair of decisions by the judges when you compare her work to her fellow competitors, but the argument kind of comes down to whether you consider *Project Runway* to be a sewing competition or design competition. Anyway, Anya is still designing. In 2019, she competed in Season 7 of *Project Runway: All Stars*. ## Season 10: Dmitry Sholokhov Hailing from Belarus, the designer won both season 10 of *Project Runway* and season 4 of *All Stars* but, to be honest, we mostly just remember his accent and not his designs. Now, he's clearly doing some very cool stuff, because we want almost every design he posts on Instagram. In 2019, he was named the Fashion Designer Of The Year by Metropolitan Fashion Awards in Los Angeles. ## Season 11: Michelle Lesniak Franklin After winning Project Runway's inaugural "teams" edition, the Portlander continued to design. In 2019, she won season 7 of *Project Runway All Stars*. ## Season 12: Dom Streater Dom prints were just to die for, and her final collection was certainly worthy of that win. In fact, she nabbed another win on *All Star*'s season five. In addition to being a freelance designer, the textile maven worked a five-year stint at Urban Outfitters, according to her LinkedIn. ## Season 13: Sean Kelly Possibly nothing has made us as happy as that time Sean created that rainbow dress for the rain runway, which changed from white to full of color as the water hit it. We would have given him the win for that look alone. He returned for another chance at a title on season seven of *All Stars*, but came in seventh place. ## Season 14: Ashley Nell Tipton Ashley's win was notable because all her models were plus size—and she used the show as a platform to make totally cute, fashionable, wearable clothes for plus size women. In addition to a collab with JCPenney, she recreated a line of roller skates. ## Season 15: Erin Robertson From fashion to...pickleball? That's right. After winning *Project Runway*, the Utah native co-founded Pickle Pop, a Los Angeles-based pickleball facility. But don't worry—she's still designing as well, creating coats from quilts. ## Season 16: Kentaro Kameyama In a season that celebrated body diversity like never before, Kentaro was crowned the *Project Runway* winner for the "unexpected emotion" that his collection showed during New York Fashion Week. Since then, he was named the Fashion Design Chair at FCI Fashion School and showed his work at the 2019 New York Fashion Week. He also launched The Brothers Project, a line featuring branded street wear. ## Season 17: Jhoan "Sebastian" Grey After he was named the winner of *Project Runway*, **Nina Garcia** called him "the personification of the American dream." Less than a year later, the Colombian-born designer already created a women's wear line. ## Season 18: Geoffrey Mac A master of latex, the edgy designer's "Midnight Rider" collection was shown during 2021 New York Fashion Week. ## Season 19: Shantall Lacayo Ten years after making it to the *Project Runway Latin America* season one finale, the Nicaragua-born designer got her win on the OG show's 19th season. Since then, she relocated to Miami, where she continues to design. ## Season 20: Bishme Cromartie With three challenge wins under his belt, it was no wonder that Bishme took home the ultimate prize on season 20. Since his *Project Runway* victory, he showcased collections during the 2021 and 2024 New York Fashion Weeks. ## Season 21: Veejay Floresca After appearing on *Project Runway Philippines* and Hulu’s *Dress My Tour*, Veejay rose above what may have been the cattiest crop of contestants yet on *Project Runway* (not least due to her cutting comments in the workroom) to be crowned the winner in 2025. Out-designing her fellow finalists with a collection dedicated to her late father, Veejay also became the first trans woman to ever win the show. Since then, in addition to making red carpet appearances at events including the 2025 *Glamour* Women of the Year Awards, she showed a collection during New York Fashion Week in February 2026.]]></description> <author>contact@designremotejobs.com (DesignRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>projectrunway</category> <category>fashiondesign</category> <category>realitytv</category> <category>christiansiriano</category> <category>fashionweek</category> <enclosure url="https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20260707/f3c3027a-aa25-4924-8db1-73311b19a5f2_1783460076.jpg?fit=around%7C1200:1200&output-quality=90&crop=1200:1200;center,top" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Elon Musk's New SpaceXAI Logo: A Reebok Rip-Off?
