Revolutionizing Sustainability: The "Trempel" Cloth Hanger

Designers Viktor Puzur & Mihail Puzur Create an Eco-friendly Solution for Everyday Use

The design inspiration for the "Trempel" cloth hanger stems from a commitment to environmental conservation. The Puzurs have made it their mission to prioritize eco-friendly materials, thrifty use, and recycling opportunities in their design concepts. Their focus on natural material application and novel technology registration further underscores their dedication to sustainability.

The "Trempel" cloth hanger stands out for its unique properties. Made from recycled cardboard tubes, it exemplifies the ease of fabrication and replication of used feedstocks. The hanger's distinct shape is achieved through a specific angle of cardboard tube cutting, resulting in a minimalistic yet functional design.

The realization of the "Trempel" cloth hanger involves a meticulous process. After the cardboard tube is cut at a specific angle, an aluminum pop-rivet is inserted and screwed over with a standard hook to create the end product. The trimmed cardboard tube is then coated with a waterproof aqueous varnish to prevent blotting, resulting in a durable and eco-friendly cloth hanger.

With dimensions of 470 * 210 * 28 mm, the "Trempel" cloth hanger is a compact solution for clothing storage. Its design tags - hanger, clothing, recycling, tube, cardboard - accurately reflect its essence. The project was initiated in 2013 in Kharkov and completed in 2014, with the final product exhibited at the Salone del Mobile Milano in April 2015.

The "Trempel" cloth hanger has overcome numerous design challenges to emerge as a sustainable product. Its creation involved extensive research into the use of recycled materials and their potential for manufacturing. The result is not just a functional object, but a testament to the power of sustainable design.

The "Trempel" cloth hanger's design excellence has not gone unnoticed. It was awarded the Golden A' Sustainable Products, Projects and Green Design Award in 2016, a prestigious accolade granted to outstanding creations that advance art, science, design, and technology. This award is a testament to the Puzurs' commitment to sustainable design and their ability to create products that significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics.
