100 Deliberately Damaged Product Designs

From Crumpled Luxury Cabinets to Chic Shattered Clutches

— August 19, 2013 — Art & Design
Perfection is admirable but boring, especially when compared to the excitement of deliberately damaged product designs that encompass the elements of danger and destruction.

Those homeowners looking for furnishings and decor pieces that are out of the ordinary with show-stopping qualities, will certainly be interested in the dynamic way a smashed-looking piece of furniture can truly change up the pace of a room. Purposely cracked artwork, dishes and lamps all have an eye-grabbing element that piques the curiosity of those who walk past, breaking the ice amongst guests who will want to know more about these pieces.

Reminding us that nothing in this world is truly permanent, damaged product designs demonstrate the fleeting beauty of modern design as the world of technology evolves and changes.
