Creative agency Uncommon Creative Studio has produced a chair with collapsible arms that can be used to air out clothes, encouraging users to rewear garments rather than washing them more than needed.
The Rewear Chair, which will be showcased later this month during Dutch Design Week, was developed by Uncommon Creative Studio as part of a campaign for eco-cleaning brand Ecover aimed at highlighting the environmental impact of everyday activities like laundry.
The bespoke piece is a playful reappraisal of the ‘laundry chair’ which exists in many bedrooms as a place for tossing worn clothes that aren’t dirty enough to require washing.
The designers wanted to celebrate this behaviour as skipping washes and allowing clothes to air out on a chair can save water and energy, while also making clothes last longer.
“We’re taking a common behaviour and turning it into something beautiful and intentional,” explained Uncommon Creative Studio founder Nils Leonard.
