make something big...

recycle / cut / produce
The hanger comes from recycled materials found on the streets. It have been used laser cutting machines and CNC milling machines to cut the different pieces. I used second hand panels of a closet. The boards are 3.5 mm. thickness and are very flexible. This feature is used to generate the ends of the hanger. These slats are fixed with two wood knots (hexagonal shape) fixeds using dry jonery. Finally It have an intermediate knots tractioning the slats that make the curve and take the shape of an open flower.
