Lasso Clothes Hanger

"Catching the Wild" Wardrobe

— July 26, 2008 — Art & Design
Reel in your wild clothes and hang them up on this Western inspired clothes hanger called "Catching the Wild" from Stolen Wood Studio. The sculpture is shaped like a lasso and is made from steel and polyester rope.

Stolen Wood is a group of three German designers with a passion for all things Western. Their exhibition saloon was decorated with furniture designs reminiscent of the favourite watering holes of cowboys. The designers wished to introduce visitors to the Wild West and transform them to "Asphalt Cowboys."
Trend Themes
1. Western-inspired Design - Create products and experiences that incorporate elements from the Wild West to appeal to consumers seeking unique and nostalgic design aesthetics.
2. Sculptural Functional Objects - Develop functional objects that blur the line between art and utility, providing consumers with visually appealing and conversation-starting products for their homes.
3. Nostalgia Resurgence - Tap into the growing desire for nostalgia by creating products that evoke a sense of nostalgia for past eras, such as the Wild West, and connect with consumers on an emotional level.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Incorporate Western-inspired design into home decor products, such as furniture, lighting fixtures, and accessories, to cater to consumers seeking unique and statement-making pieces for their homes.
2. Fashion and Accessories - Introduce Western-inspired fashion and accessories, like clothing, jewelry, and handbags, to capitalize on the nostalgia trend and appeal to consumers looking for distinctive and expressive personal style.
3. Art and Sculpture - Combine artistry with functionality in sculptural objects, like the lasso clothes hanger, to cater to art collectors and individuals seeking one-of-a-kind artistic pieces for their homes or offices.
