Kache
Hoarders have difficulty parting with things they believe they might need at some future point in time. Clothing is particularly difficult to discard. As hoarded clothing accumulates, the amount of useable space becomes more limited. The functionality of seating is especially vulnerable to growing clothes piles. Having identified the intersection between hoarding habits and furniture design, Kache embraces tendencies unique to hoarders and explores how their strategies of organization (piles, generally) can be put to good use. By reframing what a pile may be, Kache transforms excess clothing into upholstery, which, in turn, gives way to a functional, aesthetically pleasing, and decidedly low maintenance chair.
