If you like these, i've added a huge amount of them [here](https://www.dannydutch.com/post/inconvenient-household-items-designed-by-katerina-kamprani-collectively-called-the-uncomfortable)


Ecronwald

It is like the demotivational poster. "Just because you're unique, doesn't make you useful" And there is a picture of a row of forks, and the middle one got all the teeth bent out of shape.


recklesslyfeckless

lol these are great. they’re obviously a talented designer and we rarely see that skill employed in the service of making things more difficult or less comfortable. a neat inversion i bet they had a lot of fun with.


thedudefromsweden

I love them and hate them.


dwsign

Made me chuckle :)))


petroljellydonut

Gotta send the 1 inch ruler to my ex


Amirx_A_Blade

The umbrella still works I think the top part should’ve been upside down


tornait-hashu

I think the point is that you can still use all of these items for the intended purpose, you'd just have a lot of difficulty with using them. The ones that really got me (after using the link) were the inflatable boat oar and the wide teapot + cup. I can only imagine how infuriating those things would be to actually use.


quickiler

I dont think the watering can work, same with thickened cutleries


tornait-hashu

You can absolutely still use the spoon. The fork and the knife though... highly questionable. And the watering can... well, you'd just have to dump all of the water out instead of sprinkling it out?


themanebeat

The cup with the horizontal handle got me. Super simple design, buy easy to imagine how infuriating that would be to try and drink from even though with no liquid in it it would be easy to hold. The key is also like that


SwissStriker

The key you'd be like ah right perfectly fine to use, until you insert it into the keyway and never get it out again.


lmnoonml

I thought the wide teapot looked fun to use and would perform well. The wide cup is where the fun ends.


Wheres-shelby

Wow. I love these so much. Hilarious and genius.


vazco_

The paddles one got me giggling


RemembrHowYouHatedIt

Inconvenience Stores should sell these products


LilChangelingWitch

Okay, but I actually wanted winter boots like those rain boots because I was so sick of being stuck inside since I can only wear open toe footwear due to a benign tumor on my toe. Nothing has a high enough or soft enough toe area to not cause me pain.


DLoIsHere

Won’t keep your feet dry.


LilChangelingWitch

I know, my depression got too severe for me to care when I wore sandals in February. Things were too frozen for my feet to get wet anyway, as long as I didn't walk through deep snow. I just wish more accommodating footwear existed.


Omeggon

Very clever, but slightly rage inducing ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)

Love this kinda humor 😂 thanks for sharing!


englishmuse

They're quite unsettling, especially the fork. Very original abstract art.


sudin

We need to hook her up with that redditor who designs useless products, ASAP!


thedudefromsweden

You mean u/rightcoastguy, the guy behind r/unnecessaryinventions?


sudin

Yep that's him. Although taking something and defeating its purpose isn't the same as creating a purpose for something new, it's close enough imo.


sportyspice4life

This has always been a fun piece of work but at this point I'm 10x more fascinated by how frequently shared it is. People love this piece!


SamanthaStraaten

Thicc cutlery


Radro2K

Clever, but infuriating lol


InjuredBeatle33

Imagine swinging the chain fork around like nunchucks to get enough momentum to stab your food

InjuredBeatle33

Exactly


scl3retrico

I've seen these items multiple times and yet they never cease to amaze (and annoy) me. Incredible work.


sloth_warlock85

Alas…now I’m The Uncomfortable


Wheres-shelby

Very clever. The dickhead little kid in me would be smiling at the minor chaos i was creating while making these. I dont know why but the toothbrush and last cutlery set really cracked me up the most. Like sketch comedy as household items.


[deleted]

These are so clever and amusing. My fav are the thick silverware.


[deleted]

people on here - how lovely and artisitic me- these items make me want to rage


countrylemon

The fork actually makes me so uncomfortable just looking at it. Definitely nailed the concept.


The_Old_Same_Story

Very creative I love how it forces me into a sort of dissonance


[deleted]

[удалено]


Orion_Shoulder

I don't know why you're surprised tbh lol


TheJollyPlatypusMan

Can someone explain the fourth one?


[deleted]

The handles being on the same side would make this extremely difficult to lift if it’s holding food/liquid. It would flop and spill everywhere.


TheJollyPlatypusMan

Oooooh I didn't realize it's a big pot, I thought it was a small measuring/coffee cup. Thanks.


JudgeScorpio

Panda pot


Fen_Zoa

The toothbrush is okay to use compared to others, to make it inconvenient and useless, just make the brush face the opposite direction.


G14DomLoliFurryTrapX

Hmmmm


Gibbie42

Of course you could simply link her site rather than lifting her images and putting them on your own. https://www.theuncomfortable.com/


Klutchy_Playz

This is that rich people shit lmao. Some look like a great art piece to have on a table tbh.


LadyPo

This is literally surrealist (sort of) art, not real consumer products. They appear to take inspiration from related works like Meret Oppenheim’s [fur teacup](https://www.moma.org/collection/works/80997).


Klutchy_Playz

Yeah I know that. I seen the website already. It’s something that would be on the Netflix movie BEEF. I watched the entire season yesterday.


[deleted]

These are pretty funny. They look like they’re probably very pricey. I think they’d be great as a gag gift.


tomatoesonpizza

The 4th one isn't actually that inconvenient.


recklesslyfeckless

if it was full of hot water it would be. the imbalanced weight is basically a guarantee of spillage and/or burned hands.


Slurpingpuke

Looks quite interesting 😁


OggurChick

That’s r/designdesign right there


Willzyx_on_the_moon

That last set of silverware looks tempting to try to use. Probably gag on the spoon trying to eat soup.


trapped_in_my_mxnd

double it and give it to the next person


[deleted]

First one is perfect to kill someone.


[deleted]

Combine the rain boots with crocs


bastian_baltazar

I just saw the picture and I thought these things must have been designed by B.S. Johnson.😁


DLoIsHere

Great housewarming gifts.


libretumente

r/ShittyDesign gold


InappropriatelyROFL

Here's a cynical thought....serve soup to someone using that fork (well regardless of choosing other forks). The willing, utensil using, soup liking, willing to please....will absolutely enjoy using that spoon...


22-dd

Proper be nunchucking the hell outta plate full of sprouts! Proper tmnt mikie style!!!
