# Hand-Made Minimalist Hangers The Hand-Forged Clothes Hangers Exemplify Scandinavian Minimalism By Akihiko Tse | Published 2013-09-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-forged-iron-clothes-hangers References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/126418647068442697/Iron-Clothing-Rack) & [annaleenashem.blogspot](http://annaleenashem.blogspot.ca/) For Annaleena, clothes are just as nice on the wearer as they are off it, and it’d be a shame to lock them away in the dark; which is why the hand-forged clothes hangers show them off in full light. The hangers, which come in three types—a hanging circular hoop, a horizontal rectangular frame and a vertical rectangular frame—are a simple and unpretentious depiction of [Scandinavian minimalism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-collection). The hangers, which are suspended and attached from the ceiling by a hook, can hold up to as many clothes as a regular closet while hanging in full sight, acting almost as a faux shop window. The hand-forged clothes hangers are a reflection of where Annaleena’s handcraft and uniqueness “meet and create an aesthetically personal piece of detail for a home.” An inventive alternative to regular closets, these hangers ensure that we keep our clothes in plain sight before seasons and style changes confine them to the annals of our memory. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hand-forged Hangers:** Creating hand-forged hangers that double as display items is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the home decor industry. - **Minimalist Storage Solutions:** Offering minimalist storage solutions catering to aesthetic sensibilities is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the furniture and home storage industry. - **Hanging Storage Systems:** Designing and manufacturing unique hanging storage systems is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the interior design and home decor industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor Industry:** The home decor industry can leverage the trend of hand-forged hangers to offer unique and personalized storage solutions. - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry can tap into the trend of minimalist storage solutions to cater to consumers seeking functional yet aesthetically pleasing furniture. - **Interior Design Industry:** The interior design industry can explore the trend of hanging storage systems to offer unique and customizable storage solutions for their clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thin-Wood Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md) - [Storage-Conscious Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coat-hingers.md) - [Rotating Punctuation Mark Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotion-hanger.md) - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Fragrance-Defusing Hanger Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ploud-hanger.md) - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md)
