Hangers: Going Way Beyond the Ordinary



No one needs hangers like these - or any of the others in this listing. But it's interesting to see what some designers have done with something as basic as a clothes hanger. And these hangers from John Green are made from what would have been wasted material from his production of furniture. Update on Jan. 9, 2019: John Green is no longer selling these hangers.


London hanger

Seeing the John Green hangers reminded me of theses Cityscape hangers. The original company which produced them is no longer in business - but they are back! There's London (shown above), Milan, New York, Paris and Tokyo - and you can also get one custom-designed. Update on Jan. 9, 2019: These hangers are no longer available.


bird coat hanger

Ingibjorg Hanna of Iceland designed this bird coat hanger - which also comes in a trouser version.  Update on Jan. 9, 2019: This hander is no longer available.


recycled paper hangers

The Ditto hangers made from recycled paper come in lots of 100; they're intended for clothing retailers, dry cleaners, etc. [via Apartment Therapy] Update on Jan. 9, 2019: You can now buy these in 10-packs, making them something that individuals might buy, too.


colorful hanger from recycled newspaper

And then there's the Zilka hanger from Ryan Frank, made from recycled British newspapers. Bouf sells them in solid colors and patterns. [via Apartment Therapy]  Update on Jan. 9, 2019: I'm no longer finding any site that sells these.
