With the Angie project – says Giulio Iacchetti – I wanted first of all to tackle a “system” subject.
There are hangers for jackets and shirts, trousers and skirts. Why not a single hanger able to adapt to these various functional needs, tapping into a small repertoire of accessories?”
This collection is meant for the hospitality world, where hangers are usually fixed to the wardrobe rails and equipped with unaesthetic and nonfunctional anti-theft hooks.
The distinctive feature of the model Angie is its integrated anti-theft system that can be separated from the hanger hook with a “magnetic” rotation, leaving the hook hung to the clothing rod for a practical and easy use.
The Angie hanger has another unique and distinctive feature: put on a flat surface it remains perfectly upright. In this way, its all-around view can be appreciated, highlighting its exquisite workmanship and the solid wood body.
