# Magnetic Clothing Storage The 'Cling' Hangers Provide a More Practical Way of Hanging Clothes By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-06-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanging-clothes References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1360166762/375746454?token=580ffbd9) & [hangdsgn](http://www.hangdsgn.com) 'Cling' is the world's first magnetic hanger that is specially designed to provide a more functional option for [hanging clothes in a closet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger) or on a clothing rack. The magnet-infused hangers are not only more aesthetically pleasing than traditional wire hangers, but they are also more efficient. With standard hangers there is a significant amount of weight exerted on the clothing rod, despite the fact that it is screwed tightly into the wall. In contrast, the Cling [magnetic hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-wall-mount) take away the pressure exerted on the rod because they lack the hooks that pull down on your clothing rack. Cling hangers are specially made from durable Abs plastic and contain powerful Neodynium magnets N52 embedded within them, which makes them compatible with any [standard clothing rod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rak). The hangers themselves are shaped to fit nearly any garment and they are strong enough to support up to two and half pounds of weight. The sleek and sturdy design of these clever hangers makes them a more practical solution for hanging clothing in any closet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Magnetic Hangers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop magnetic hangers that can support heavier weights and accommodate various clothing sizes. - **Functional Clothing Storage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative solutions for organizing and storing clothing in a more efficient and practical way. - **Aesthetically Pleasing Hangers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design hangers that are not only functional but also visually appealing, enhancing the overall aesthetic of a closet or retail space. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Closet Organization:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technologies and products that optimize closet organization and storage systems. - **Garment Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and manufacturing techniques to create more durable and versatile hangers. - **Retail Merchandising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate innovative hangers into retail displays to enhance the visual appeal of clothing and improve the shopping experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md) - [Storage-Conscious Clothing Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coat-hingers.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) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Vibrant Custom Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cliik.md) - [Time-Saving Travel Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timesaving-travel-hanger.md) - [Vertical Honeycomb Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-art-storage-system.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md)
