the ‘droop’ line of hangers by lab::istanbul

‘droop’, the work of istanbul-based design studio lab::istanbul, adopts an unconventional, modular approach to hangers and clothing racks. mountable on either walls or ceilings, the metal pieces come in a range of shapes that optimize their use for various day to day needs. ‘u’-shaped curves provide a natural place to store handbags or umbrellas, while rounded sections  prevent jackets and hoods from sliding off.

produced in red, white, and black, ‘droop’ is designed as both a ceiling line, in which pieces vary between 100-180cm (39 – 71in) in height, and a series for walls.
