AHĀ-NEK cloth hanger

AHĀ-NEK is a minimal, sustainable, innovative cloth hanger made to protect clothing pieces with necks and fixed collars. Consisting of two interlocking, wooden sticks, the hanger slides easily in and out any garment’s neck, without stretching it. The prototype was produced with leftover bamboo and the manufacturing was based on local timber, allowing the design to actively support an circular and eco-friendly way of making. Aesthetically similar to chopsticks, it does not only reproduce the shape, but also the logic; an elegant product, quick and easy to assemble with maximum efficiency.
