I've written about the ever-popular Eames Hang-It-All before, back in Sept. 2010 - the traditional multi-colored one and the much newer walnut version. The multi-colored one sells for $199, the walnut one for $249.
While direct knock-off products aren't so cool, it is cool to see other products that take some inspiration from the Hang-It-All.
Most notably, here's an extremely large version of the Eames design. It's called Hang It All, Hang it Big, and it's by artist Ruby Anemic. There was a limited edition of 53; I'm trying to find out if any are still available, just in case any of you are interested. The price? 8,300 euros. [via Switched On Set] Update on March 1, 2011: Ruby has confirmed by e-mail that this is still available from the Colette gallery, although it is no longer on display.
Here's a version made from skateboard wheels, from Skate Study House. [via Toxel, with its very cool post about skateboard-inspired furniture]
And this coat rack from Paul Smith also seems to draw a bit of inspiration from the Hang-It-All. Update on June 17, 2013: I'm no longer finding this product.
Fun post Jeri!
ReplyDeleteI'm so enjoying looking through your blog and all your cool organizing tips. I've been working on trying to declutter my house but am not getting too far. You have some wonderful ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Amye!
ReplyDeleteAnd you're very welcome, Shanda. Glad to have you as a reader!
That's really cool. I've seen the modified plant hangers before used for that and the worst was a crafting one where they nailed soup cans to a board for that. By-far one of the coolest was using old style doorhandles. Thanks for sharing.
