Mad Hatter’s Closet – Designing a personality-driven furniture
PREMISE
In the old days, the need of storing clothes wasn’t the aim that was attributed to closets.
Houses those days were barely one room while people slept on the ground . The elite people had manors with bedrooms where people slept and used for other activities, sometimes for entertaining guests too. When one’s bedroom was also to be occupied with numerous activities, they needed an area to possess a personal moment, either for reading, praying, or to store their prized possessions. this is often where the closet was invented.
Up until the late 1960s, the material hangers that we now find in closets and wardrobes weren’t even invented. Clothes were stored in chests and trunks.
The term closet eventually became a synonym for secretive or private.
BRIEF
It is always a sight to observe creative people undergo their day and to wonder at the way their thoughts run. In every aspect of their life, some people stand apart, and to represent this quirky sect of our population, nobody can roll in the hay better than a fictitious character .
And who better than The Mad Hatter himself. The hat maker with an eye fixed permanently hats.
The challenge here is to design a personalized closet for Mad Hatter from the beloved fantasy story ‘Alice in wonderland’.
The aim here is to broaden the realms of closet designs by designing for the creative population and redefining the definition of storage in the future.
This project would help future product designers to broaden their visions and cater to the needs of all kinds of people.
