50 Simple And Brilliant Design Solutions That You Will Be Amazed At

Some people just think of inventions that are so simple and brilliant but no one else could have come up with them.

The world is full of amazing feats of design that we all take for granted. Some are highly complex, like elevators and planes, but others are incredibly simple. Scissors, for example, are two pieces of metal held together with a screw. And thanks to that, we all have nice haircuts!

But for all the great simple designs that have become commonplace objects and features, there are many more that should be used more widely.

The 50 examples below are all incredible design innovations that would benefit people across the world!

1. A Sauce Tupperware Within a Tupperware

The sauce need never dry out again!

3. Slides Can Make Escalators Obsolete

This would also allow anyone to unleash their inner child without any public embarrassment.

4. The Perfectly Placed Elevator Call Button (It Means You Don’t Have to Wait By the Time You Reach the Doors)

This is almost as good as making an elevator button app that allows everyone to call an elevator with their cell phone. Imagine that!

Although somehow it seems like there will always be tons of used gum stuck under picnic tables.

That would definitely help reduce the tangles of cords that infest most corners of every home.

The “Medi Teddy” helps disguise any IV bags to comfort kids that are in the hospital. Seeing a fluffy teddy bear is way better than seeing scary medications and IV fluids. These should always be in children’s hospitals!

33. Fireplace with USB

38. Cufflinks with a working watch

Just because you’re wearing cufflinks and a fancy suit doesn’t mean you can’t wear a watch. Leave your sports watch at home and opt for cufflinks with a built-in working watch instead. Genius!

39. Inclusive bench

This subway bench has heights and widths of varied sizes. Now people of all shapes and sizes can sit comfortably. Because seriously, all people are not one-size-fits-all, why are the ergonomics of city planning made that way?

40. A pinch!

Do you know when a recipe calls for ‘pinch’ of something? What exactly is that? Some people’s pinches are bigger than others and vice versa! This set of measuring spoons comes with a tiny spoon for a ‘pinch’ measurement.

If you’re packing banana in a paper bag lunch, it can easily become smashed and totally ruined. This container is shaped perfectly like a banana so you can store it in a cooler or lunch bag without worry.

43. Built-in sanitizer

Every single public bathroom needs one of these handles. The handle itself has a built-in hand sanitizer pump. Now, those people who don’t wash their hands have zero excuses.

44. Dimming plane windows

Newer plane models are installing windows that have electronic windows that dim instead of having to pull down the shades. It was bright daylight when this person took this photo. Great for those long international flights.
