Modular in design, the homeware product doubles as a [treadmill and clothing rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottagono). Ideal for apartment homes and limited spaces, the 'Walk and Hang' boasts a sleek design. Traditionally, treadmills and clothing racks are bulky and look out of place in the home. Unlike its counterparts, the dual-function device looks like a minimal standing table. When it is not in use, the 'Walk and Hang' rests like a folding table. To use it as a treadmill, users can open it up fully to create a walking platform. Whereas, to use it as a clothing rack, users can partly unfold the device to reveal a [drying rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaceefficient-drying).
