Abstract


This is an inside-out wardrobe. The onus is on the user to maintain a suitable amount of joy-sparking garment and to keep the total collection in check.




‘We could live freely like fish in freshwater, but now we no longer can because of the mud and objects piling up all over the place.’

‘When considering whether an item should be kept, the subject should be ‘me’, not the item.’

--------------Hideko Yamashita, the initiator of Dannshari


We are constantly reminded of the limited resources on the planet, yet we are struggling with the stressful living spaces contributed by the unused cluttered objects. More responsible consuming behavior and mindset such as ‘断捨離 (dannshari)’ should be advocated.




Background Research









Design insight

The aim of this project was to bring together the phenomena of overconsumption and minimal lifestyles into some kind of harmonious relationship. The project started as an attempt to reformulate wardrobe storage into a system that would enable users to not only visualize the contents of the wardrobe but also allow them to see the disproportionate ratio of clothes that were worn and not worn.
