Stylishly Snagged Hangers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Modified Coat Rack by Taewoo Kim is Strategically Glitchy

— April 25, 2013 — Art & Design
Designer Taewoo Kim has created a sculptural and visually interesting coat rack known as the 'Modified' coat hanger.

This design is a perfect statement piece that will look stunning in the foyer of a home, yet is elegant and dainty enough to fit nicely in a bedroom or walk-in closet. Skinny long limbs interact and cross over each other, creating a symmetrically balanced design with a sturdy base that takes up hardly any space at all. Along the top branches, glitches are systematically placed, making it seem like some ninja has sliced the rods with a super sharp blade and it has yet to fall apart.

The interruptions in the otherwise straight lines make for eye-catching details that turn the 'Modified' coat rack into an artistic piece of home decor.
Trend Themes
1. Sculptural Home Decor - Taewoo Kim's 'Modified' coat rack demonstrates the opportunity for designers to create aesthetically interesting and functional home decor pieces.
2. Glitched Design Elements - The strategic placement of glitches in the coat hangers opens up opportunities for designers to incorporate visually interesting design elements into their products.
3. Space-saving Storage Solutions - The sleek and compact design of the 'Modified' coat rack provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for designers to create space-saving storage solutions for small living spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Companies and designers in the furniture industry can leverage the trend of sculptural home decor and create inspiring and functional pieces such as Taewoo Kim's coat rack.
2. Interior Design - Interior design companies and professionals can incorporate unique design elements like the strategically placed glitches in the 'Modified' coat hanger to create unique and visually appealing environments for their clients.
3. Home Organization Products - The 'Modified' coat rack demonstrates an opportunity for organizations that provide home organization and storage solutions to create space-saving products that double as decorative pieces.
