The reel from @jakes__junk starts with a bright yellow lounge chair tucked into the corner of a white wall, its seat pad dull and stained. Nothing else is on screen except the chair, and the caption keeps it blunt: “What a find #dumpsterdiving #dıy.”

The video runs about a minute and a half, and the first big move is a phone search. A screenshot shows results for “Modern Patricia Urquiola for Coalesse Hosu,” with used listings at $2,200, $4,000 and $2,300, plus a visual match for a pair of yellow chairs at $3,800 and a related search for the Steelcase Hosu Convertible Lounge Chair. After that the clip moves to a close up of a stain on the seat.

Then the work starts. On a brick patio, the creator, a man in a cap and gray shirt, tips the chair up and sets out two machines, a red one and a yellow one, with hoses and a cord running across the bricks. A spray of water hits the seat from a wand, and an upholstery tool scrubs the cushion. At one point he holds up a bottle of cleaner, and later he pours amber liquid from a jug into the black tank on the red machine, then bends over the chair and works the tool across the seat again. The dark ottoman section lies on a blue towel and gets its own pass with the tool. Close ups show the honeycomb pattern in the fabric, and a small handheld tool goes around the edge of the cushion.

The last stretch is the reveal. The chair sits on a patch of artificial turf in front of a white wall and a hedge, clean and bright, and the creator drops into it, leans back and stretches out with the ottoman folded out. The final frame is a product page overlay for the Modern Patricia Urquiola for Coalesse Hosu Chaise Lounge Chair With Ottoman, showing a gray version of the chair.

Steelcase, which sells Hosu under its Coalesse brand, says Patricia Urquiola designed the chair. On its Hosu page, the company calls it a “comforting personal space to relax and get things done” and says it is meant for mobile work in places such as universities, hotel rooms and creative business spaces. It lists the lounge as available as a convertible single or a fixed double, with storage pockets and a cable pass through built in, and says it comes in six custom colors.

The video shows what the creator checked before cleaning. He identified the chair with a visual search, looked at what used examples were listed for, and then took on the work himself. The video does not say what he did with the chair afterward or where it was found, so the story stops where the clip does.

For anyone picking up a stained upholstered piece, the sequence is a useful template. Compare used listings, noting that the screenshot shows a range from $2,200 to $4,000 rather than a single price. Then clean in stages, as the creator does, with a rinse and wand first, then an upholstery tool, and a close up check of the fabric texture to finish. Removable cushions, like the dark ottoman cushion that gets its own pass on a towel, can be cleaned separately.

The listing prices in the video are asking prices from sellers, not what a chair sold for, so they are only a guide.
