35 Badass Designs for Ordinary Products

— April 14, 2008 — Unique
AyMan's list of 6 BadAss Designs has inspired me to create a mega list of ordinary products gone 'bad ass'.

From a gun hairdryer to terror fashion, these products will add a danger to your reputation.

Almost every time we see an ordinary product made dangerous, traffic ensues. Accordingly, designers everywhere should seek inspiration from this list and submit more ordinary products with bad ass design.

Implications - Consumers in contemporary society are looking for ways to update their practical items. Products that are functional can oftentimes become mundane. Companies trying to appeal to a wider audience could look into this desire when creating their designs for the future.
