Being creative and artistic often means having a unique point of view that can be misunderstood by a wider audience. This is the case with some design solutions that can be amusing and confusing at the same time but are certainly attention-grabbing. Although most of these items were made with good intentions, they turned out to be better at making people laugh rather than fulfilling their original purpose.

Bright Side collected some of the most unfortunate examples of designers’ work that can make you giggle and wonder, ’’What were they thinking?’’
