Hell in a Handbasket: "Bonkers Closets" is a Show Revealing How the 1% Store Their Luxury Goods
Episode 1: A socialite's insane filing-cabinet-style clothing storage system
So Insider has launched a show called "Bonkers Closets" where rich people show off their closets, which are larger than some of our apartments. This socialite from Singapore has "designed" a fingerprint-locked closet system based on filing cabinets to hold all of her ball gowns. Then they move on to her insane assortment of footwear and her Hermes bag collection:
I like how they show you what everything is and splash the value across the screen.
Hell in a handbasket. Made by Hermes.

Her closet is a prison of her own making.
Good for you Mr. Rudge for designing robots for purposes we need, instead of the anthropomorphised humanoid robot designs that are hugely expensive with never a useful commercial product produced.
Agree 100% humanoids are horribly expensive (for now). Think roomba for simple yet laborious work. :). We are trying to get it under 100 usd per bot, ruffly one months wages in Brazil. We get there. Inspired by these ppl
Very cool! It wouldn't work for either of my gardens, but I wish it could. I have enough to do without worrying about weeds!
From an organizational point of view, it's cool that the dresses file drawers have glass. Wonder what your organizing expert would think?
I got into design to try to do meaningful things that serve to solve needs (the hard kind of design). It makes me deeply depressed to see that still most design is basically expensive crap designed for profit only, that only serves widen the gap, making the poor feel poorer and furthering the rich from reality by exploring our need to feel part of a group.
The other side of the coin is that design like this is an industry that allows creatives at the top of the game to continue playing. It's a game that is fed by addiction, but at least it inevitably fuels work being done on lower-end brands while also maintaining in employment those who for whatever reason really want to hone their craft to the level of quality to produce these items.
I'll say that I don't resent the brands or these objects for existing as the market and place for them to exist is ultimately inevitable. It's more the culture and the addiction that drives women like this to keep purchasing more and more, long long past any sense of reason is maybe the more concerning aspect.
I remember being 17 and driving my moms car at the time, and as I passed my friends(on foot), I thought this makes me better than them , girls will prefer me. Certainly a teenage thought, but status driven design is that , feeling better that the others who don't/can't have what you have. We feel superior wearing something expensive, but it's only because we know it makes the other person, jealous, makes them feel inferior. So I think of purposely in-inclusive design as kinda of a "matter" where you make someone feel on top of the world. It's "anti-matter" is that someone must feel inferior to accomplish that.
and i wanted to be a chef so that i could feed the poor... (not really, just making a point) let me guess, you're a design student? not all design is good design, learn to pick your battles and ignore the rest. packaging designers literally design landfills blah blah blah
No I've been out of school for a long time. I design open source robotics for agro-floresty food production to feed the poor( for reals not to make a point, just because you asked).
Good design should take as much as possible into account . I belive the "rest " is just as important because it's all connected design shape culture and culture shape our morality.
