The conceptual 'Travel Hanger' seen here is a premium travel accessory that helps to offer those who spend extended periods of time on the road with a better way to keep their garments fresh and wrinkle-free
Designed by Lingjie Zhu (Hangzhou Hotdesign), the hanger pivots at two points in order to collapse into itself and make it a pocket-sized solution that's ready for packing into luggage. The durable design of the unit opens outward to stop unnecessary collapsing during use and keeps all pointed angles tucked within when folded to prevent damage from being inflicted onto garments or other travel items.
The conceptual 'Travel Hanger' is the winner of the 2018 Golden Pin Design Award and identifies the increased popularity of travel accessories as consumers seek to streamline their lifestyle when on the road.
