Just as we predicted, one of our talented creationeers, Lucky, has not kept us \u201changing.\u201d\u00a0 Today, we\u2019ve got Lucky\u2019s perspective on bringing some innovation into your closet!\u00a0 From Lucky\u2019s mind\u2026 to your desk!\u00a0<\/p>\n

As consumers, we are cognizant of the design of certain objects and products:\u00a0 cars, electronics, appliances and even food.\u00a0 But, [there are] some things that we use in our daily lives that we would never give a second thought to the design of; because, they\u2019re so commonplace, so utilitarian, that it seems they must only exist in one color or one shape.\u00a0 For example, the clothes hanger.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"innovative<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, they range in material from wood, to wire and plastic; but, whenever we think of a hanger, we conjure up the same image of a triangle with a question mark at the top.\u00a0 The design hasn\u2019t changed much in the last 100+ years that the hanger has been around, which is why contemporary designers are looking at new ways to improve on an old solution and even solve a problem [that] we didn\u2019t know we had.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"creativeThe Paperclip Hanger by Japanese designer Jaehyung Hong takes the common material and construction of the wire coat hanger and the paperclip, and melds them into a multi-function clothes hanger.\u00a0 Usually used to bind together sheets of paper, the Paperclip Hanger neatly holds pants, unmentionables, and smaller garments that would usually fall off traditional hangers, while functioning as a normal hanger.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"housewares\"Italian design company Almove specializes in products made from lightweight materials that fulfill a single need, while adhering to clean lines and essential forms.\u00a0 For their contracting coat hanger, they\u2019ve kept the question mark, but replaced the triangle with an accordion form.\u00a0 This allows for the hanger to be easily packed in an overnight bag, suit case or even a briefcase.\u00a0 It also prevents the user from having to insert the hanger from the bottom of the garment, allowing it to fit through the neck.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"home<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stretching out the neck of a garment to fit the hanger in the top is something we\u2019re all guilty of and a big problem for those who don\u2019t have the time to insert the hanger from the waist:\u00a0 people who are impatient, retail workers and those in the garment industry.\u00a0 A lot of time can be saved by being able to quickly insert a hanger.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"creativeThis is why we have Pinch:\u00a0 a simple solution to a problem we know existed, but [may have] never really cared to solve.\u00a0 A mixture of injection-molded Polypropylene and Elastomer, the product functions by doing what its name tells you to, pinch.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

By performing this simple and intuitive gesture, it bends the arms down, allowing you to comfortably fit the hanger inside the garment, without damaging the fabric.\u00a0 For someone who uses a lot of hangers, this can save a lot of time\u2026 and a lot of collars.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope this one makes its way to market!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
