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...

    Swish, but impractical, if your middle size knife is dirty, nowhere to put your small one.

    This wasn't for minimalist designs...... These were The Famous White Skittles for Pride Month...... just looking at most of the comments here, I'm thinking most of these people did give 2 shits about that month {hell they probably joined in on the hate with people thinking that these were "white" meant they were "racist" instead of "gay" } https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/skittles-all-white-pride-month_us_5943ffcce4b0f15cd5bae4bc

    My grandfather always says (begun with this after we had the appropriate age of course): "But why eat your least favorite first? What if you pass away during eating (whatever you eat)?. Then you had your least favorite as last. And haven't had your favorite yet!". lol. Not meant sad. Just as a joke by the tone he says it. But still I eat my least favorite first. So I have the most delicious flavor taste in my mouth after eating :-). Even though this triggers my OCD enormously. I still kind of like it. Guessing which one you had. Like a game.

    Why should it anger you? It was made to support LGBTQ+ people, and it pretty clearly says that they're all the same color on the packaging. If you want specific flavors on your skittles, get a different kind. It's not like stores will only have those kinds.
