Innovative Foldable Coat Hanger: Solving Space Problems
TLDR; A designer spent 3 years creating a unique foldable coat hanger, the 'coat hinger', to solve everyday space problems. The Kickstarter campaign aims for support.
⏳ 3 Years of Work
The designer invested 3 years in creating a foldable coat hanger due to the frustration of not fitting a coat rack in the bedroom.
Despite the time and effort, the designer believes it was worth it and has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the product.
The 'coat hinger' is designed to address the issue of hanging clothes on the wall without protruding too far, providing a space-saving solution.
🧲 Innovative Design
The 'coat hinger' is a simple yet complex solution to the problem of hanging clothes closer to the wall.
It is designed for spaces where a normal coat hanger cannot fit, allowing users to fold and hang clothes closer to the wall.
The foldable design seems to be a new concept, as the designer was surprised that no similar product existed in the market.
🔗 Design Iterations
The 'coat hinger' went through multiple versions, including ones with magnets, snap bracelet material, and various wood prototypes.

The final version consists of three injection-molded parts and two plastic components, providing full control over friction and functionality.
