Inventor and YouTuber Simone Giertz launched the Laundry Chair, a hybrid seat and garment organiser designed to keep lightly worn clothes accessible while reducing laundry frequency. The chair features a movable rail mounted on a ball-bearing lazy susan so clothes wrap around the seat instead of piling up, with space for at least 10 items and a removable zippered cotton corduroy cover.
Constructed from hardwood, the 20 kg chair measures roughly 93 x 92 x 93 cm and ships flat-packed for home assembly. It currently appears on Kickstarter with a green base color, a planned second color determined by backer votes, and early-backer pricing below projected retail.
For consumers, the Laundry Chair creates a neat, breathable place to rest clothes between wears, extending garment life and cutting wash cycles. As a dual-purpose furniture piece, it aligns with trends for multilayered home products that blend utility with sustainable habits.
