CloLESS Process Book
CloLESS is intentionally restrictive in the amount of clothing it will store. The layout is well-organized helping users to maintain clothes in a system that makes them easy to find and to hang and roll the clothes and return them to their assigned place. The design will make clothes visible and celebrate the beauty of the clothes so users can see all the clothes that they own at one time, making it easy to select what they wear every day, and also strengthen the user’s emotional connections to their clothes and maximize their value. To enhance the ritual of dressing, the design is arranged on the basis of inner to outer dressing sequence and divided into groups of cleaned to worn but reusable to dirty.
