CONCEPT
The project is very simple and poetic: a wire coat hanger that falls from the clouds.
You sit down on your sofa and you see all this clouds running in the sky, and your clothes are driven away with them. You can use it alone or you can form a bunch of clouds running upon your room.
The materials could be stainless steel cable and plastic, or steel and laminate. Designed for home furniture but also shops, restaurants and coffees.For now this coat hanger is only a prototype made of a wood cloud and some meters of metal cable, entirely done by hand by myself ;it is in my room, I use it everyday and it works really good.I want to develop the idea and I'm looking for a producer that wants to do it with me. I've found interest for the idea and I hope to succeed in doing it.
Why this project???
I've remained many years with an old floor clothes stand, so big, so heavy and so sad. Then I've started to think about a new way to hang my clothes and jackets: I didn't want to build another totem dedicated to dust and consumerism.
So, I projected this coat hanger that falls from the ceiling, with a limited number of elements.
It is suspended, so it doesn't limit your living space; you can walk beneath it and you can clean you room more easily.
But, above all, it gives me an idea of freedom and freshness, I like to see my second skin (as Austrian artist and architect Hundertwasser defined our clothes) moving when I touch them or jingling when the wind enters my room.
The cloud must be fastened to the ceiling, but I don't consider this as a limit to the project: we always speak of the adaptability and flexibility of our houses, and then we fill them with heavy and bulky objects, so I think that this unmovable object could be more dynamic that many movable ones.
