I really love smart, clever, fun, whimsical designs so discovering 1 Design per Day a few months back has been a super big treat.
Here are some of my fave finds from 1 Design per Day. Click on images to be directed to their original posts.
Best bike rack ever, ever, ever! Made by Knowhow Shop LA.
Smart, smart cards from TheseAreThings
I LOVE the Yumbrella fruit bowl by Benjamin Hubert.
This fun cookie packaging is the post that made me click “subscribe” on 1 Design Per Day.
(Editor’s note! The fun afro packaging from Japan is not a cookie! It’s a pastry and thanks to Kionon from Kyoto Maiko for providing the translation, Black Melon Pan/Bread; also called chocolate melon shaped bread.)

That bycicle rack is amazing! I’m always inspired by design and what some people’s heads come up with, maybe I should subscribe too 🙂
thanks for sharing, and for being such a STAR on my website xxxx
this is pretty awesome. i love the bike rake made out of a huge comb and those yumbrellas too–so cool!
It’s chocolate melon shaped bread actually. The title reads, BLACK MELON PAN (pan is the Japanese word for bread, which is taken from the Portugese) and while incredibly racist in the west, is pretty par the course for my adopted country…. As you can probably guess, I read Japanese.
It’s not actually a cookie, but a pastry slightly larger than a donut. This one has chocolate cream in the center as well.
These are all great but I think the afro cookie takes the cake. Pardon the pun. But really, how clever is that?! I love it, in fact I’m going to let my bf in on the fun! He’ll think this is hilarious! He’s always wanted a fro. I’m not kidding, he really really wants one 🙂
These are just brilliant! We need more of these around us, more smiles, people, more smiles! 🙂
Ok, that bike rack is just the coolest thing! People are so creative! The Yumbrellas are super cute too!
That bike rack is SICK!! the umbrella fruit bowls are adorable, and the wig like pastry is hilarious!!
Um, that pastry packaging is amazing. And I need those cards!
I love those cute smart cards!! I usually make my own and then put them all over the house for Mr. A to find. He says it’s weird, but I know that he secretly loves it.

Those cards would make a perfect gift for any occasion. I love clever design and even better, good gift giving. Who wouldn’t appreciate those?
You need to add a http:// in front of the Kyoto Maiko link, or it doesn’t go anywhere. Thanks for the shout out!
