The hanger has been thoughtfully designed to serve a dual purpose, functioning not only as a practical object for hanging everyday clothing and accessories, but also as a visually appealing decorative element in any interior space. The intention was to create a product that maintains its aesthetic presence even when not in use, contributing to the overall ambience of the room. The form of the hanger is inspired by two seemingly contrasting yet organically fluid references: the petals of the Champa flower, a bloom commonly found in my region, and Medusa, a figure from Greek mythology known for her flowing, serpentine hair. This blend of local natural beauty and mythological symbolism helped shape a form that feels both grounded and imaginative. The hanger is crafted out of bamboo, a material I deeply appreciate for its strength, flexibility, and sustainable qualities. I am particularly drawn to organic forms and the tactile nature of handcrafted objects, both of which played a central role in the making of this piece. The structure was shaped using traditional bamboo bending techniques, applying controlled heat to curve the material in a fluid and natural manner. This process required patience and attention, allowing the bamboo to express its inherent character. The final surface was treated with linseed oil, enhancing the texture while offering protection and a subtle sheen. Overall, the piece reflects a balance between function and form, craft and concept, celebrating the potential of everyday objects to be both useful and beautiful.
