40 Brilliant Designs That Perfectly Blend Beauty And Innovation

I went to school for design, so I’m always a little extra impressed when someone manages to create something that feels genuinely new.

It’s not easy to balance beauty and innovation without one overpowering the other, but the designers featured by the Design Therapy Instagram account make it look effortless.

These are the kinds of ideas that stop me mid-scroll and make me wish I’d thought of them first.

Smart, creative, and visually satisfying, each cool design feels like a reminder of why I fell in love with this field in the first place.

If you appreciate thoughtful design that pushes boundaries while still looking incredible, you’re going to love these.
