KAMKAM, a Korean Design Studio, has release a 'Dressed Up Furniture' range featuring [felt-covered wardrobes, tables and stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia). The [bright colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reglow) of these movables make them reminiscent of play furniture from an oversized dollhouse.

These 'Dressed Up Furniture' pieces come completely clothed with pockets, buttons and zips that actually function as fasteners and not simple accessories. When you open and close the KAMKAM cabinet doors, you literally dress and undress each piece.

**Implications** - KAMKAM, a Korean Design Studio, has just released a fantastic series. The 'Cham' cabinet uses belts to fasten itself closed, and a magnet on the inside fixes the door shut. This is design at its very best.
