Junho Kang designs the Grip hanger, which is a dynamic clothing rack that is inspired by the design of unique shapes that are found on sports climbing walls. The walls reflect the natural rock formations that could be found in nature but it is made with intentional shapes that enhance grip and skill development.
It has a whimsical design as it integrates the 'Hold' feature reflecting playful shapes of climbing molds. The whimsical structure also gives the hanger its own personality as the hook reflects the way that the climber's hands could hold onto the shape. The thin metal fingers grip onto the stone-like structures and the design adds a sporty climbing touch to any room.
