Axel Self Standing Coat Hanger

Axel

The more items you hang on it, the more stable it gets; that is the main statement regarding this object. Coat hangers very often have stability issues; jackets, coats, sweaters etc. can lean the hanger. In Axel's case, while being designed, designers used gravity as an ally, to help its users to keep the tall hanger centered using its mid axis. Axel is a high quality product. Build by only two elements; a steel joint and a massive wood leg. Multiplied by three. Easy to repair since it's hand built.

Axel Self Standing Coat Hanger by Ivan Levak was selected as an outstanding illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Axel Self Standing Coat Hanger received the Bronze A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2025. The A' Furniture Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize that recognizes excellent design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
