Kerfed Rack

From the Rajneeshpuram who only wore red because it represented the sunrise to the girls and women of the American Shakers who donned white brimmed caps, intentional utopic communities often share a common style to foster kinship. Inspired by the notion that shared clothing is a symbol of community, Kerfed Rack is a clothing rack with three arms that share the same visual language through repetitive kerf patterns–a technique used to bend wood by cutting multiple notches. The kerfed circular forms allow for clothes to hang in a unique but consistent way, subtly suggesting that uniformity is an imperfect notion.
