Zigzagged Garment Holders

The Gazel Clothes Hanger is a Graceful Adaptation of the Awkward Item

— December 20, 2013 — Art & Design
It's slightly surprising that there haven't been more suggestions along the lines of the Gazel Clothes Hanger for improving the often frustrating common coat hanger. This clever redesign makes the process of putting away and retrieving tops more efficient, all the while ensuring that no article is damaged.

The major change is the distortion of the handle; its form has been pulled towards one side, bringing it closer to a corner. This simple adjustment means that the Gazel Clothes Hanger can actually accommodate shirts with tighter collars, given that they don't have to stretch across half of the contraption in order to be hung up and yanked down. The consequently exaggerated hook has been given a calculated bend that still enables the rack to suspend level from a closet rod.
Trend Themes
1. Improved Clothes Hangers - The Gazel Clothes Hanger offers a more efficient and damage-free way of storing and retrieving tops.
2. Efficient Garment Storage - The distortion of the Gazel Clothes Hanger handle allows for easier storage of shirts with tighter collars.
3. Enhanced Closet Organization - The calculated bend in the Gazel Clothes Hanger's hook enables level suspension from a closet rod.
Industry Implications
1. Retail - The improved clothes hangers could lead to a new line of innovative and efficient storage solutions for retail stores and clothing brands.
2. Home Organization - The Gazel Clothes Hanger's design can disrupt the home organization industry by providing consumers with a more effective way to store and retrieve their clothing.
3. Product Design - The efficient and damage-free features of the Gazel Clothes Hanger present opportunities for product designers to create innovative solutions for garment storage and organization.
