15 Designs That Are Both Practical and Outside the Box

Some designs are the absolute opposite of “design fails.” They make you go full-on “I never thought I needed more of this in my life” mode and for good reason. You’d never thought that a mom might feel the need to have fun on a swing until you see a swing set designed for both the parent and the child.
