Repawpose

Repawpose started as a design practice driven by the goal of increasing the life span of used or old clothing by integrating them into a product from daily life. The final form is a sweater-shaped cover that integrates clothes as padding and eventually folds into a bowl-shaped bed, the reason being that the scent remaining on clothes would help pets get familiar with new products, and feel safe and comfortable when resting in it. Using old clothes in the ped bed, it gives the old clothes a longer lifespan and provides pets a more comfortable place to rest surrounded by the scent they trusted.
