# Highbrow Hangers The Clever Hook Lives Up to Its Name By Meghan Young | Published 2010-07-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clever-hook References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/men/gear/misc-gadgets/clever-hook/) & [dwr](http://www.dwr.com/product/workspace/desktop-accessories/organization/clever-hook-house-organizer.do) Hooks may be helpful in general, but they've never been as handy or downright intelligent as the Clever Hook. Living up to its name, it not only provides a convenient place to [hang your items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto) but it actually gauges the weight in order to adjust its grip on them. Able to hold up to 40 pounds, the Clever Hook was designed by [sculptor Stefan Bennedahl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpartment). Made out of [acrylic and steel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf), it's also a chic addition to any home or office.
