The typical wardrobe story is the same for virtually everyone- lots of clothes to hang and too little space for everything else. However, if we look closely, we’ll observe that there’s a lot of space between the upper part of the wardrobe and the clothes rack. This space is created by the geometry of traditional hangers. So, what you need may not always be a bigger wardrobe, but a space-saving hanger that can help you maximize the available space. What you need is the Compact Hanger.
Design and features
The Compact Hanger places clothes upward and reduces the space between the clothes and bar. Consequently, there’s much more space below. The extra space can be useful for storing boxes, accessories, shoes, T-shirts, pillows, and just about any item that would usually lie around your room.
Adjustable hanging length
The space-saving hanger is a welcome deviation from the traditional fixed and tall design of clothing hangers. The traditional design fails to take the varying collar sizes of different dresses into account. While it may be suitable for a coat, it’s unnecessary for a T-shirt or jeans. Depending on the hanging dress, its height is adjustable on three levels. All you need to do is press a button and pull the hook. Beyond optimizing space, the Compact Hanger’s adjustable hook makes it perfect for all types of clothes, be it a pullover or a t-shirt.
A blend of functionality and aesthetics
Compact Hanger’s design does not compromise aesthetics for functionality. The manufacturers are engineers with an eye for a beautiful design, and it’s hard to miss the hanger’s signature Italian aesthetics.
Ergonomic shape
According to the manufacturers, 5 of the best hangers in the Italian clothing market were carefully studied before they came up with the final design for the Compact Hanger. The result is a functional and ergonomic hanger that’s easy to handle and use.
Strong and recyclable
The manufacturers claim that Compact Hanger is made of 100% recyclable plastic. Compact Hanger comes with two reinforcing flaps that make it extra resistant and durable. The durability ensures you won’t be disposing of your hangers anytime soon, further minimizing environmental impact.
Reversible direction
The space-saving hanger has three holes in front and behind. Thus, you can remove the hook and fix it in the opposite direction. The asymmetry makes it easier to hang your clothes in an orderly manner.
Pricing info
Compact Hanger is currently at the crowdfunding stage. The Kickstarter campaign has generated over $17,000 from 237 backers with 21 days to go. You may visit the campaign page to check out the available pledges and rewards.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
