Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The hanger is made of a linear monolithic aluminum rod - without ties or additional elements, which in turn contributes to its strength, elegant and clean style! Its advantages over other ordinary hangers are that it prevents stretching of the collars of the clothes, easy and fast placement of pants without wrinkling or falling, with up to 40% lower suspension height and durability, as well as quick and easy production!
- Inspiration
- Due to problems with hanging outerwear and pants on ordinary hangers and their instability over time, also for better visual style
- Research
- Everyday I faced the problem - to hang clothes with a narrow and small hole on a simple hanger. So I started thinking about how I could improve them and at the same time be strong and easy to make. Initially I started searching the Internet for such solutions, but they were difficult to implement and not suitable for pants and others. After inventing the design concept, I started researching the angles and dimensions of the standard hangers, then I drew the design and made real samples. Then I presented it to friends and they approved it from a practical and design point of view.
- Challenge
- The main problems were what material to choose, because when bending a hollow tube there was a dent in the inside of the profile and how to make the design so that there are no additional connections on it to make it stable!
- Realization and Technology
- By bending aluminum rods according to a template with a diameter of 8 mm
- Operation and Interaction
- These holes on the hanger make it easy and fast to hang and insert any garment without stretching or falling.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started on August 16, 2020 in Varbitsa, Tushovitsa and ended on January 5, 2021 in Varbitsa, Tushovitsa
- Specifications
- Width 438mm x Depht 8mm x Height 175mm
- Keywords
- Line, Hanger, Minimal
