About Jeff’s Initiatives
“The best ideas often spring from unanticipated sources and Kasita is no exception. The concept emerged during Jeff Wilson’s yearlong stint living in a used dumpster, a social experiment that reduced the definition of “home” to a 33 square foot extreme.

While the dumpster was, in many ways, an impractical dwelling, there were a surprising number of perks: it could move anywhere; rent was low; commutes were short; and the local neighborhood became an intimate living room.

As the experiment drew to a close, Wilson took what he’d learned and returned to the drawing board where Kasita came to life, a new category of home that married iconic design and pioneering technology with insights gleaned from a trashcan.”
