Katerina Kamprani is a designer who loves to mess with our minds by creating everyday objects that are completely impractical. Her project, “The Uncomfortable,” is all about taking things we use every day, like a chair or a spoon, and redesigning them to be almost impossible to use. Imagine a rain boot with a hole in it or a cup that spills your drink. Katerina’s funny and clever designs make us laugh and think at the same time. What makes Katerina’s work so interesting is how it gets us to question the way we look at ordinary objects. By turning familiar things into strange, unusable versions, she challenges us to see the world in a new way and think about how design affects our daily lives. Her creations aren’t just funny—they also make us appreciate good design and maybe even start conversations about how important it is in our everyday routines.

When I went to study design, the teachers warned me that there’s even more responsibility, because you have to create things people actually use. And when you think of design, it’s not just the quirky art I had in mind—quirky chairs and weird things—it’s about the things we use every day. That was eye-opening for me because I always thought design was just a fun way to play with materials, shapes, and forms.” At that time, the most important lesson Kamprani learned about design was user experience—that an item should be comfortable and easy to use. “I thought, what if I make it difficult? Then I have no responsibility; I’m doing whatever I want. That was liberating, and I just kept doing it.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
