20 Incredible 80s Design That Should Come Back

A lot of old designs have been renewed by only adding a hint of the new to make them fit in today’s modern world. That goes for the design in the fashion industry, interior, exterior, etc. It is this old design that brings back a piece of history and reminds us of how things used to be. Therefore, today we want to bring back some good oldies.

r/80sdesign is a subreddit dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of art and design from the 1980s. This subreddit was created back in 2015, and so far counts around 75.6k members. They share images of 80s designs that have survived through time or are a reflection of the past.

We compiled a list with some of the designs we liked the most and we think we should bring them back asap. Scroll down to check them out, and let us know in the comments if you agree with us.

This Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Shaming Bad Architecture, And Here’s 20 Pics That Got Roasted

Sometimes, in architecture, designs can go out of the ordinary. For example, we have a rather dangerous architecture that is as dangerous as it looks, if not more. On a positive note, we also have a somewhat friendly architecture that is not only useful for the user but also cares for their welfare as well.

And today, we’ll be having some funny designs. These structures aren’t dangerous and still serve their purpose, but how they’re constructed can be hilarious. Today, we’ll head over to the Facebook group That’s It, I’m Architecture Shaming – Burn It to the Ground Edition, the gathering place for people who love to poke fun at funny designs. Below, we compiled the 20 funniest structures ever presented in the group!
