If you're a regular Bored Panda reader, you've probably seen one of our pieces on bad design. (If not, you can go through a crash course here, here, and here). It's actually one of our favorite topics.

But every once in a while we feel like we need to equalize the scales, and show some good creations too. Roughly half a year ago, we turned to the Instagram account 'Design Therapy' to do so. And it worked like a charm — the social media startup is an excellent source for exploring innovation.

So now, since they've kept active and shared plenty of awesome content, we decided to do an update.

Continue scrolling to check out cool cat towers, glass chairs, toy pianos, and many more visionary products. The future is now, folks, and it's up to us to reinvent it the way we like it.

I have something like this, it's just a smaller door in my door. Super cute and my cats love it

It looks like a neat way of letting your cats roam the house without leaving all the doors open for heating or air con. But, if I was in this house and didn't know about the kitty door and noticed it move when I closed the door behind me, I'd probably end up having a minor panic I'd broken the door somehow.

So why shut the door ? This scenario lets the pets in but not the children ? Am confused.

Probably the door establishes a zone barrier for heating and air conditioning. Children can be taught how to turn a door k**b, although I am in favor of lever-action door hardware.

This cat door is fairly simple to do with panel doors. One caveat: most cats prefer visibility because it feels safer by allowing them to see where they're going.

True, but my cat won't use the cat door when he can't see what's on the other side, so plastic it is lol

Unless it's to another room, lock it. Cats destroy the environment if they're allowed to roam outside.

All I see is my cats, Rex Zimmerman and Stinky, fighting through the door at 3:24 in the morning, and I know I'd hate it.

This reminds me of something called a 'tulpenvaas', a Dutch vase for tulips. They were invented when tulips were very expensive. Because of the vases design you needed less tulips for a full looking bouquet.
