Let’s be honest: we all have. That one chair in the corner of the room is buried under a mountain of clothes that aren’t dirty enough, but definitely not clean enough to go back in the closet. It’s a classic home decor struggle that has haunted mankind since the invention of the loom. But finally, someone has planned a way out.
Enter Simon Gertzthe brilliant inventor and self-proclaimed “Queen of Disgusting Robots”, who has focused on creating delightful, functional furniture. Her latest masterpiece is the Laundry chairand it’s exactly what our bedrooms are asking for. Instead of fighting human nature, Giertz embraces it with a rotating secondary arm specifically designed to hold these “marginal” garments. It turns the cluttered look into a functional furniture design that looks purposeful and smart.
Upholstered in a gorgeous low-pile olive cord, this chair is more than just a shelf. it’s a statement piece. It’s meant to work with our existing habits rather than trying to force us to be perfect. Plus, doing less laundry is actually better for your clothes! Frequent washing can damage natural fibers and denim, so having a place to air things out is a total win for garment longevity.
Giertz, a modern problem solver, reminds us that being a perfectionist means finding movement, even in the “half-finished” parts of life. The laundry chair is a perfect example of her ability to turn an everyday frustration into a piece of functional furniture design. It’s smart, it’s beautiful, and it finally gives our “in-between” clothes a place to call home.
