29 Design Fails That Will Make You Question Humanity’s Creativity

Not everyone is cut out to be a designer. And thank goodness for that, because where would we be without the endless supply of design fails to laugh at? As someone who once tried to DIY a coffee table and ended up with something that looked like a modern art sculpture (if modern art sculptures were held together with duct tape), I have a deep appreciation for the absurdity of bad design. This collection of design fails is a tribute to the creativity—or lack thereof—that goes into some of the most baffling products, signs, and home decor choices.

This gallery is a masterclass in what not to do when it comes to design. From signage that leaves you scratching your head to home decor that defies all logic, each of these design fails is a testament to the power of human error. You’ll find yourself laughing at the sheer audacity of some of these fails, whether it’s a product that looks like it was designed by someone who’s never actually used it or a sign that manages to be both confusing and offensive. These design fails are a reminder that while not everyone can be a designer, everyone can appreciate a good laugh.
