The world is filled with all sorts of problems that need to be solved, but sometimes the fix for them is a lot easier than you might think. A little tweak here and there might be all it takes!
For example, what if you could cut your elevator wait time in half? If there’s a call button on a wall that’s yards away, it’ll give you just the head start you need to arrive right when the doors crack open!
That’s just one of 35 different genius design solutions you’ll find here in this list. Be sure to check out the one with the clever adult dessert treat – it’ll make your Netflix binge days even more enjoyable than they already are!

“Stands inside elevator, Press door close button, Someone shows up 100m away, presses button Hold door open for a minute while they proceed to elevator.”
