Genius design ideas are like unicorns – rare, but they’ll definitely make you grin when you spot one.
To me, a genius design screams, “How on earth did it take so long for someone to dream this idea up?” It’s that lightbulb moment that makes you appreciate the genius behind the simplicity.
Now, not all designs are whipped up by geniuses. Some seem like they were brainstormed during a prankster convention.
But hey, not everything can be a stroke of brilliance. The truly great designs, though? They’re not just eye candy. They make life a breeze in ways you didn’t even know you needed.
