There is something extremely satisfying about minimalism, and not just from an aesthetic perspective either. The clean, free feeling that comes with a life devoid of excess and clutter is also good for our mental health, giving us space to breathe and concentrate on things more important and fulfilling than the acquisition of material goods.

There are certain things that we do still need however. While marketing gurus come up with ever more complex and distracting ways of catching the eye, this list, compiled by Bored Panda, is all about gorgeous minimalist design. Objects and products stripped down to their bare essentials, leaving nothing but what is absolutely necessary. There is so much beauty in their simplicity, it makes us want to go home, clear out all the unnecessary clutter and start all over again!

Scroll down to check out the list for yourself, and don't forget to upvote your favorite designs!

When Orwell wrote it, and even when I studied it at high school, it seemed fanciful distopian fiction. Now it's a playbook for running the world - pick any authoritarian country and it's sure to be up to its armpits in Big Brother...

At least 3 places to plug in cords (cannot see the bottom surface of the cube), and the cube doesn't really stick out any further than most cords do. To me, this isn't any worse than the stupid rocker design light switches I'm stuck with in my entire house.

To be honest, the outlet is the opposite of minimalistic due to the frame.

smart this would be helpful in my family because in my family if you want a wall plug in you have to fight for one or just looks for one and looking for one will take years -_-

90 percent of the time a device is left plugged into the outlet 24/7. So who would this help?

It may not be space conserving but it looks better and is far easier to child proof! Plus it does allow you to plug more things into a smaller surface area than a normal horizontal plug.

honestly this is kinda unsafe for a baby. They could easily pop it out, and stick a fork in. If you put the outlet plugs in a normal socket, it's really hard for babies to get off
