"You can pin it to my reluctance for behavioral change. This was one of those projects where I was like, I can't believe this isn't already a thing."
"It's a little bit of a chore thorn in everybody's side, an eyesore and something you have to deal with. I had it on my list of ideas for a long time—something that honored the chair's job of holding clothes, acknowledged that, and actually tried to do the job properly."
"The Laundry Chair indeed looks like and works as a chair, the key difference being that the arm rests are constructed as a rotatable semicircle. A ball-bearing mechanism lets you smoothly spin the rail around, like a lazy Susan."
Simone Giertz designed a Laundry Chair to solve the common problem of clothes piling on bedroom or living room chairs. The chair features rotating semicircular armrests with ball-bearing mechanisms that function like a lazy Susan. When rotated forward, the bar holds clothes like a clothesline or drying rack. Spinning it back hides the laundry behind the chair, leaving the seat usable. After creating a video of the build over a year ago, Giertz launched a Kickstarter campaign to produce the chair as a commercial product. The campaign achieved funding on its launch day, with a starting price of $1,100 and discounts available for early backers.
