It's a YouTube creator and maker (Simone Giertz) who invented this as part of a video. She doesn't produce thousands of these, so I see where the price is coming from.
Its an absurdly expensive chair, but at that price it should be the kind of furniture that your great grandkids will be taking to the dump after you're long gone. You can't say the same for an IKEA chair that lasts 20 years.
Just wait to see what people charge for custom dining room tables.
Not much of my great grandparents furniture exists that I know of. A couple things my son’s great grandma still exist. But I expect he’ll be taking it to the dump when it’s time to clean out our house.
My endorsement is meant to be a kind of humorous spin, talking about throwing it away is definitely not a proper endorsement, but I'm not a furniture marketer.
Its more of a this thing will last so long, in 80 years, it will be way out of style, doesn't match anything and the great-grandkid's spouse is very insistent they do not want it in their home.
That's for the kickstarter version. This is basically a bespoke handcrafted chair by a company / team of less than 20 people. It's run by Simone Giertz (pronounced yetch, hence the store name), and it's an imminently reasonable price for an original design chair.
I mean to be fair to all of us it's not like we have a lot of space for these items to go other than the chair or the hamper because we all live in fuck ass tiny shit apartments. Perhaps if we had more reasonable amount of space, we wouldn't have to resort to such tactics.
As someone who regularly has to clean up that pile left by others, screw you. Just throw it in the laundry basket. Regardless of how clean or dirty it is. Otherwise it will just be forgotten and the pile grows too big and later will throw off washing schedule.
If clothing item has been worn more than just trying it on and it's ot going to be worn again the next day. Then it goes to the laundry basket.
Washing and drying is way more aggressive on clothes than anything you’re doing in them, unless you’re a skater and regularly eat shit on the pavement.

For when you're so deep into this process that you want to make it a part of your house. https://yetch.studio/products/laundry-chair

$1100 USD for a fucking chair you can hang clothes on? I want some of what these guys are smoking.

I mean, if you're in the bespoke furniture market this isn't insane. There's a reason IKEA is so popular

I don't think "your grandkids will have to throw it away" is quite as strong an endorsement as you meant it to be

Great grandkids. Not grandkids.

I am seeing it at a reduced price of $880 USD, but still

Do you do the daily ritual of moving the clothes from the chair to the bed so you can use the chair?
DmMacniel@feddit.org · 17 pts · 101d

I have a whole house and still resort to these tactics. People just don't design furniture for that inbetween status that clothes get.

That’s so much smarter than my pile on the floor

In high school I left my clean laundry in a floor pile, it sometimes became bed 2

The problem is, washing clothes wears them out.
Shellofbiomatter@lemmus.org · 0 pts · 100d
Wearing those wears those out anyway.

Fair point, though drying depends whatever it's done in the dryer or just air dried on a clothes line. Latter being less damaging to the clothes.
But all of that is kinda irrelevant in comparison to the rage that the ever growing pile of clothes in limbo generates.

Some of us have limited acess to washing machines.

Its like purgatory for laundry. That shirt must atone by being used one last time before St Peter opens the washing machine

A "neat" pile on the part of my too-large-for-my-room bed that I don't use at all.

Came to the comments hoping for a solution. At least I know I'm not alone.

I bought a rattan basket from IKEA for this, one of my best purchases ever.

I can’t get over how perfect that painting and the girl’s expression are for this meme. Applause to OOP, whoever you are!

Try just dedicating one drawer to be a "staging drawer" for this stuff. Haven't had laundry clutter at all since I started doing that.
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 100d
I did this. Now I have the staging drawer and the floordrobe.
