A good design is something to admire—and honestly, so are the bad ones. Sometimes things are just plain overdesigned. Not necessarily horrible, but also not groundbreaking. It’s the kind of stuff that makes you go, “Did we really need to reinvent the chair?” Probably not, but here we are.
These overdesigned items are a mix of cool, clever, and occasionally pointless—but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be impressed (or a little baffled) by them.
