Expressive Robot Hooks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Robot Hooks by Paul Coconut Smile While You Hang Stuff

— June 5, 2013 — Art & Design
The Guy, Alfred, Jimmy and Steeve hanging hooks by Paul Coconut are shaped like adorable little robots. Depending on which screw heads you choose to mount these adorable hooks with, you can change the robot's facial the expression.

Each of the cute robot hooks in this series are made from powder color-coated steel: Guy is blue, Alfred is white, Jimmy is turquoise and Steeve is black. Each hook is also a slight size and shape variation of the same design. The Guy hanging hook has a rectangular body and the Steeve hook is oval. Each hook then has two hanging arms that extend outwards that are great for hanging clothes, letters, keys and tools from.

The best part of these Paul Coconut hook hangers is that depending on which screw you use, you can change the robot's expression. Pick from either square, circular or triangular to change up how happy your hanging hook looks.
