Most products made for a practical reason can have a less than intriguing design; the Frank Wall Hook strives to combine function with a whimsical feeling.
Designed by David Barry, an industrial designer located in Brooklyn, NY, the Frank Wall Hook is made from powder-coated steel to make sure it’s strong enough to hold anything and everything. The screws of the hook act as a way to attach itself onto your wall as well as for the inquisitive eyes of Frank. Artist Barry offers an amusing description of Frank’s journey into becoming a wall hook, saying that he discovered “He was a natural, and was soon holding up all kinds of objects with his ears for hours, even days, at a time,” according to the product’s Kickstarter page.
