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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
