Monkey-Mimicking Hooks

These Kitchen Hooks are Tiny Monkeys That Hang Utensils from Their Tails

— August 10, 2015 — Art & Design
Animi Causa unveiled its latest range of plastic kitchen hooks that look like tiny monkeys. The kitchen accessories are named 'Just Hanging Kitchen Hooks' and are a playful decor accent.

The sets of hooks come in a single package containing three monkeys. Each monkey is designed to grab the edge of a shelf or rack with their hands, while their hook-like tails hold onto cooking utensils and kitchenware. Featuring two styles -- a monkey that hangs using one hand and another that use two -- this line will appeal to animal lovers with an eye for design.

There is also an option to connect the monkeys so the utensils can hang lower. The powerful plastic hooks are built to hold heavy objects traditionally found in the kitchen. With their cute aesthetic and bright colors, the hooks add a playful accent to kitchen decor while acting as functional elements.
