Design Project for ME101: Visual Thinking

Clothing hangers are often tricky to work with. Wool sweaters and turtlenecks are often prone to stretching, and the rigid frame of the standard clothing hanger does nothing to preserve the life of these garments. As someone who wears sweaters and turtlenecks regularly, I wanted to create a solution to the wide and unforgiving shape of the clothing hanger. I thus designed the Flex-Hang, a retractable hanger that folds up to easily fit into the collars of more delicate shirts and opens up with enough stability to maintain structural integrity and form when displaying shirts.
