  I never know whether I read "the weekly design roast" or "currently crowdfunding" topics, the designs in both series are usually on similar level. And to be honest most of ms Alexa topics show even worse products.

  I assume that many of these things are university projects, where people play with forms and try to create something different, some are just made for fun. The first thing with the ladders is just a silly decoration and I think that it will serve its purpose well, not everything needs to be super efficient, serious, made of natural eco materials, etc. These things have flows, sure, but to laugh at them is a little bit cringy.

  The only funny thing is that today you are laughing at this peculiar way of storing magazines, when just a few months ago you were totally amazed by the way how Lagerfeld keeps his books, which is basically the same.

  So many of these designs make me think that they must have financial security as well as friends that blindly tell them that "It is so cool" ~ "So edgy"

  Bookshelf with bungees would be pretty useful when you've got a 1.5-2 year old running around pulling everything off of shelves. I ended up wrapping several bookshelves with a single strand of monofilament for this reason. But the bungee thing is way too permanent for this usecase.

    And as a side point i bet the bungy would keep them more entertained then pulling things off of the shelf.

  Obviously, these designers never had cats. It's all fun and games until the cats get trapped within the cords and straps. Having said that, I imagine enlarging the NY Staircase Shelf would be perfect decor for lounging cats. I'd buy that!

  If my neighbors didnt smoke on the fire escape they'd smoke inside. I'm all for smoking out on the fire escape.
