Capsul, Modular Clothing Storage for Tiny Living
Bill Leonard
Industrial Design, 2017
Capsul is the result of research into three distinct pathways: Home Storage,Trends in Reduction of Material Goods, and Micro/Tiny Living. Those who choose to reduce their wardrobe size, or to live in tiny spaces, do not have the space or need for traditional full-scale storage solutions.
Capsul incorporates methods (rolling items that don’t require hanging,reducing unnecessary items), hardware (the wardrobe frame and inserts), and accessories (baskets, rolling aids, hangers), to create a system that provides both visibility and quick access without clutter.
Capsul’s modularity is the result of a unique four-way connecting bar, which allows for endless adaptations. Three inserts are currently proposed, but there is the possibility of additional design functionality (such as shelving and accessory storage).
