Brilliant designs are hard to come by, but when I see them, they make me smile. In my mind, a brilliant design is something that when I see it I think, “I can’t believe it took this long to come up with.”
Some things are designed by a-holes but not everything. These designs are helpful for many reasons.

2. “The font size on my contact packaging increased with my prescription”
3. “Design that prevents a-holes from creating new accounts.”
4. “Lego Explains”
5. “Tesla Does It Again”
6. “This toilet paper roll contains a mini paper roll to carry with you, instead of an hollow cardboard roll!”
7. “An easy way to ask the company to repair wheels”
8. “A hot stamp instead of a sticker”
9. “My bike seat is also a bike pump”
10. “This note says everyone that handled my food did not have a fever and has their full names”
11. “I can’t stress enough how much of a gray basket person I am. Wish they had this everywhere!”
12. “Scary-sad, but comforting to know you can be safe.”
13. “Don’t know if this fits here”
14. “A stand for bikers to hold on to while waiting for the traffic lights in Sweden.”
15. “This furniture hardware is sorted by step rather than by type.”
16. “Let’s all think back to middle school (or any other time) and think about how great it would’ve been to have this instead of needing to muster the courage to ask someone”
17. “local bar saving you from having to touch the dirty door handle”
18. “Appropriate soap for before or after you eat.”

20. “Books-A-Million puts a slip of paper under the stickers on their books to prevent sticker residue being left on the covers.”
21. “These seats on the jubilee line”
