# Curious Clothes Hook Cabinets The Wewood Andy Hanger is an Unusual Solution for an Ordinary Task By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-08-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wewood-andy-hanger References: [blog.leibal](http://blog.leibal.com/products/andy/) & [diogo-frias](http://www.diogo-frias.com/andy.html) Observing the Wewood Andy Hanger, you may ask yourself, "what is it's purpose?" It is a rectangular timber box mounted on the wall, revealing the incised contour of a chunky coat hanger, otherwise without a formal indication of its function. But you'd be right to remark the clothing holder outline in the lumber crate, because supporting a jacket is its raison d'etre. If you pull down from the long horizontal opening across Diogo Frias's cabinet, a hinged door drops and stops parallel to the floor and the coat hanger suspends perpendicularly. The arrangement produces a shelf for your accessories and mixed possessions and and a low-level hook for your overcoat. Beautifully crafted, the Wewood Andy Hanger would make a warm addition to your front foyer, kept collapsed in hotter months. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 36% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Multi-functional Furniture:** The Wewood Andy Hanger demonstrates an innovative solution to combining hanging storage and shelf functions in one item. - **Disguised Storage:** The Wewood Andy Hanger shows potential for creating storage solutions that blend in with the surrounding environment and that look like decorative items, saving space and adding aesthetic value. - **Sustainable Design:** Wewood uses environmentally-friendly materials and sustainable production methods to create unique, practical pieces of furniture, which could pave the way for similar approaches in the furniture industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Furniture manufacturers can explore ways to create practical, space-saving pieces that provide both storage and decorative functions, enhancing the aesthetic value of their products and home interiors. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies could experiment with creating hidden storage solutions that blend in seamlessly with their designs to help consumers maximize space while maintaining their home's aesthetic. - **Environmental Sustainability:** Environmental groups and sustainability-focused companies can highlight and market products made from environmentally-friendly materials and production methods, bringing attention to the benefits of sustainable design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md) - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Stylish Oakwood Storage Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moose-cabinet.md) - [Wall Art Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-case.md) - [Forest-Inspired Wooden Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hayashi-cabinet.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Tripod-Like Garment Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-coat-rack.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md)
