Queuer: The Magnetic Hanger

Organize Your Closet with Style and Ease

Queuer is a revolutionary clothes hanger designed by Xiuwen Sun, Feng Han, and Miao Zhou. By harnessing the power of magnets, this innovative hanger keeps your closet organized and neat, even when it's not in use.

Are you tired of your hangers being in a jumble every time you open your closet? The creators of Queuer were inspired to find a solution to this common problem. By embedding magnets into the side surfaces of the hanger, they have created a game-changing storage solution.

What sets Queuer apart from traditional hangers is its unique design. One side of the hanger features a convex platform, while the other side is concave. This allows the hangers to stack up neatly and orderly when not in use. No more tangled mess of hangers in your closet!

But the benefits of Queuer don't stop there. The rectangular shape of the hanger makes it versatile for various uses. Not only can it be used for airing clothes, but it can also be combined to support other items such as shoes or even a bird's nest.

The functionality of Queuer is impressive. The top of the hanger is designed as a thin iron plate, allowing users to easily raise the hanger by attaching it to the convex platform. In case the magnetic force is not strong enough to support heavier clothes, there is a groove in the center of the hanger that provides additional support. Additionally, multiple hangers can be put together to create a semi-closed container-like structure, perfect for airing items with odd shapes.

The designers behind Queuer conducted extensive research to validate the demand for a hanger like this. Through a questionnaire survey and interviews, they found that 62 percent of respondents expressed frustration with jumbled hangers. This confirmed the need for a solution like Queuer.

One of the challenges faced during the design process was controlling the weight of the hanger. Initially, three magnets were used, but this made the hanger too heavy. Inspired by the nested trolleys in supermarkets, the designers introduced a convex-concave structure, reducing the number of magnets to one and achieving a reasonable weight.

Queuer was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2017 for its outstanding and ingenious design. This prestigious award recognizes designs that incorporate best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to quality of life improvements.

So say goodbye to messy closets and hello to organization with Queuer. This magnetic hanger is not only functional but also adds a touch of style to your wardrobe. Experience the convenience and elegance of Queuer and transform your closet today.
