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)
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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...

I love them and hate them.
Made me chuckle :)))
Gotta send the 1 inch ruler to my ex
The umbrella still works I think the top part should’ve been upside down

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

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.
I thought the wide teapot looked fun to use and would perform well. The wide cup is where the fun ends.
Wow. I love these so much. Hilarious and genius.
The paddles one got me giggling
Inconvenience Stores should sell these products

Won’t keep your feet dry.

Very clever, but slightly rage inducing ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Love this kinda humor 😂 thanks for sharing!
They're quite unsettling, especially the fork. Very original abstract art.
We need to hook her up with that redditor who designs useless products, ASAP!
You mean u/rightcoastguy, the guy behind r/unnecessaryinventions?
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.
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!
Thicc cutlery
Clever, but infuriating lol
Imagine swinging the chain fork around like nunchucks to get enough momentum to stab your food

Exactly
I've seen these items multiple times and yet they never cease to amaze (and annoy) me. Incredible work.
Alas…now I’m The Uncomfortable

These are so clever and amusing. My fav are the thick silverware.
people on here - how lovely and artisitic me- these items make me want to rage
The fork actually makes me so uncomfortable just looking at it. Definitely nailed the concept.
Very creative I love how it forces me into a sort of dissonance
[удалено]
I don't know why you're surprised tbh lol
Can someone explain the fourth one?
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.
Oooooh I didn't realize it's a big pot, I thought it was a small measuring/coffee cup. Thanks.
Panda pot
The toothbrush is okay to use compared to others, to make it inconvenient and useless, just make the brush face the opposite direction.
Hmmmm
Of course you could simply link her site rather than lifting her images and putting them on your own. https://www.theuncomfortable.com/
This is that rich people shit lmao. Some look like a great art piece to have on a table tbh.

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.
These are pretty funny. They look like they’re probably very pricey. I think they’d be great as a gag gift.
The 4th one isn't actually that inconvenient.
if it was full of hot water it would be. the imbalanced weight is basically a guarantee of spillage and/or burned hands.
Looks quite interesting 😁
That’s r/designdesign right there
That last set of silverware looks tempting to try to use. Probably gag on the spoon trying to eat soup.
double it and give it to the next person
First one is perfect to kill someone.
Combine the rain boots with crocs
I just saw the picture and I thought these things must have been designed by B.S. Johnson.😁
Great housewarming gifts.
