Minje Park works together with ROUSEED STUDIO to create the Banannang. This is a playful clothing hanger which is inspired by the banana. Notably, this is more than a regular hanger as it is made to make the process more playful and engage with children. This was developed by a team that focused on the idea of creating good habits in children.
This Banannang encourages a more positive way for kids to interact with their clothing and space. Visually, it looks like a banana with a bright yellow color and curved shape. It is made to meet aesthetically pleasing standards whilst also fitting to the small hands of children. It is a fun and natural way to create mindful habits.
