50L Closet
The 50L Closet holds roughly 50 liters worth of personal belongings. Ideal for a two-day and one-night trip, it was originally created as part of the Absurd Hotel collection in Pedro Galvao Cesar de Oliveira’s course at NYU ITP, Designing the Absurd.
A modification of the IKEA IVAR chair, the 50L Closet features two medium compartments in the front and one large compartment in the back. The medium compartment includes passport-sized slots for travel documents and precious items as well as a single circular belt slot. Touch-activated light brightens the storage area. The large compartment features a wine rack capable of holding a single bottle of wine and a single wine glass holder. The top rung of the closet doubles as a suit stand, which can be removed and used as a separate hanger. An additional three hanger slots are built into the middle to allow your jackets to be hung comfortably. (Shown in video demo)

The storage space placements of the 50L Closet is a nod to the form created when a piece of furniture is “misused”.
