A Notched Coat Hanger for (Partially) One-Handed Operation

Unroasted

By Rain Noe - July 13

Coat hangers are not something I struggle with, which is why I often made fun of designey ones in the Design Roast. And while I'd never buy this one here, it's at least an interesting take:

That's the Mozu Hanger, made from bamboo or bioplastic made from wheat straw (you choose). You may be wondering: How could I roast the other ones, but not this one? Because the other ones are trying to be different for the sake of being different, and their designs complicate the operation. This design here is actually trying to solve a problem--it's just not a problem that I have.

If it's a problem you have, and you want to help Kickstart it, the campaign is here.

That idea isn't new and has been available for a long time.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.
