Coat Hanger Clothes Racks

The Dual Hanger is Assembled from Slotting Garment Slings Together

— January 20, 2012 — Art & Design
A coat rack made of coat hangers? It's actually quite a logical idea. The Dual Hanger was designed to bring together a pair of wardrobe implements so that both can better serve to keep clothing tidy.

Jo Jae-Min began with a single unit: the conventional coat hanger, altered for optimal assembly with rigid flanks and integrated slots. Their geometric shapes allow them to be pieced together to form a contemporary spin on the familiar upright coat rack.

With one side of each module making up the shaft of the stand, the other juts out to act as a clothes peg. The diamond-shaped hooks also protrude from the jigsaw shank and can effectively hold and hang various garments. Cleverly, the Dual Hanger can be easily disassembled in favor of catering to closet-bound outerwear.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycling Furniture - Innovative ways to repurpose everyday objects, like coat hangers, into home decor offer an opportunity for companies to create sustainable furniture products.
2. Modular Home Storage - Modular furniture that fits together like a puzzle, such as the Dual Hanger, provides a new opportunity for companies to create customizable and space-saving home storage solutions.
3. Alternative Materials - Exploring new materials, like rigid flanks and integrated slots, for furniture design can open up opportunities to create products that are both visually interesting and functional.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The Dual Hanger and other upcycled furniture products offer opportunities for companies to create unique, eco-friendly home decor items.
2. Furniture Design - Furniture companies can explore modular and space-saving designs like the Dual Hanger to create innovative products that appeal to consumers in search of customizable storage solutions.
3. Sustainable Manufacturing - Companies looking to reduce waste and promote sustainability can investigate alternative materials and upcycling to create eco-friendly furniture products like the Dual Hanger.
