Hurdle Hanger | GIZMODO.cz

I imagine YD sees at least 5 hanger redesigns each year, each better than the previous one, either improving on its strength, its eco-friendliness, or its function. I said these very words exactly a year ago as we featured the first edition of the Hurdle Hanger. the first edition of Hurdle Hanger (Hurdle Hanger for Pants) aimed at being the best way to organize/hang your pants. The Hurdle Hanger 1.0 could hang pants in a way that conserved space, saved loads of time, and kept the pants wrinkle-free. This version, however, is designed to be more all-encompassing. Designed to be what Collabo Space claims to be the most hassle-free hanger ever, the Hurdle Hanger lets you hang everything from shirts to pants, scarves, and belts in mere seconds. It’s the classic example of how form often follows function in a way that’s so nuanced that it allows the Hurdle Hanger to look slightly different from other hangers, but be remarkably better at what it does.

Most hangers aren’t really consciously designed because they always play second fiddle to the most important items in the wardrobe… the clothes. The Hurdle Hanger, on the other hand, is conscientiously designed to make sure it supports and protects the clothes you wear. It comes with a slightly deformed, asymmetric design that gives it strength as well as the ability to hold all your clothes. Its unique form lets you slide shirts and tees into it in a mere second, without stretching the neck-hole. The same form gives the Hurdle its ability to easily hold scarves, as well as easily hang pants from. A larger loop (the c-type hook) on one end of the hanger even supports belts, letting you hang them by the buckle. The Hurdle Hanger’s design promotes easy, universal hanging in a way that quickly helps you keep your wardrobe organized, while slip-resistant strips on the hanger ensure that your clothes never slide off by accident. The hanger’s design even elevates most clothes by 2-3 more inches than other hangers, giving you more space on shelves to store folded clothes.

Hurdle Hanger achieves all this thanks to good design + engineering, along with the use of ABS in its construction… a recyclable thermoplastic known for strength and durability used for products ranging from protective headgear to Lego bricks. All this combined gives Hurdle Hanger the ability to last longer than conventional hangers while also hanging all your clothes easily, swiftly, and neatly!

Hurdle Hanger – The One Second Hanger

The Hurdle Hanger is an all-purpose hanger designed to help you organize clothes quickly and easily.

6 Reasons Why Hurdle Hanger

1. Prevents the Neckline from Stretching. The design helps prevent the neckline of your tops from stretching. Now you can hang your favorite shirts, even turtlenecks, with ease.

2. Quick & Easy To Use. Whether it be tops or bottoms, you can hang your clothes effortlessly.

3. Optimal For Both Clothes & Accessories. Organize both clothes and related accessories neatly.

4. Saves More Space. Hurdle Hanger is designed to hang clothes 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.6 cm) higher than most hangers in the market, creating more storage space beneath.

5. Slip-resistant. The slip-resistant strips help prevent clothes from falling off.

6. Made Of High-Quality ABS. Made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), an easily recyclable high-quality thermoplastic with increased strength, rigidity, toughness, and temperature & chemical resistance. Because of these properties, ABS is widely used for making all sorts of household and consumer goods, ranging from protective headgear to Lego bricks. It won’t break unless you intentionally attempt to do so by applying excessive force.

The clothes hanger is probably one of those products that each industrial designer looks at with disgust, and probably redesigns at least once in their lifetime. They’re so commonly found and horribly designed, that they’re the perfect product to relook and reinvent. I imagine YD sees at least 5 hanger redesigns each year, each better than the previous one, either improving on its strength, its eco-friendliness, or its function. The Hurdle Hanger, like all its predecessors, looks at the common household hanger with a similar feeling of repugnance, promising to do more, and look better while doing it.

Designed with the specific objective of being the world’s easiest and strongest pant-hanger, the Hurdle is a single-piece hanger that’s molded out of ABS, rather than the common PP hangers that flex and break. ABS is break-proof and impact resistant, allowing the hanger to easily take the weight of your pair of jeans without buckling or snapping under the pressure. It also helps that the hanger measures a cool 6 millimeters in thickness, making it marginally thicker than your flimsy plastic hanger, but loads stronger too.

The Hurdle Hanger’s design comes in an open, linear pattern that makes sliding and draping your pants on them easy. If you’ve got shorts that are too short to drape on the Hurdle, hang them by sliding the hanger through the belt loops. The draping method works well for most of your clothes (topwear too), while the insert-holding technique makes it easy to hang shorts, or pants you don’t want to crease/fold (pro-tip, you could use this technique to hold pants that have stuff in their pockets too). A non-slip surface on the hanger prevents your clothes from accidentally sliding off, while a dedicated hook on one end helps you also hang accessories like belts, caps, etc. All in all, the Hurdle promises to broadly do three things better than regular wooden or plastic hangers. Be easier to use, provide more features, and last much longer than run-of-the-mill mass-produced pant-hangers.

What’s noteworthy about the Hurdle Hanger is that unlike most of the hanger redesigns we end up featuring on YD, the Hurdle isn’t conceptual. Taken from sketch to prototype to mass-manufacturing, designer Seungwoo Hong plans to make his iteration of the hanger available to the public. The Hurdle Hanger is currently in its crowdfunding stage, available in anywhere from a pack of 10 for regular consumers, to packs of 60 for retail outlets and warehouses.
