HANGER by Lyndon Neri & Rossana Hu
”We are always interested in seemingly mundane and anonymous everyday objects. This hanger represents an object that is neglected and ignored in domestic and office environments — not glorified at all but in fact among the most important. We want to respect the Offecct brand values which stand for a simplicity and a strong sense for the contemporary communal meeting place — and for the LifeCircle philosophy reflected in the base of recycled stone or concrete. The hanger is like an `Ayi´. `Ayi´ is an endearing term meaning `aunt´ and is what the Chinese use to call their domestic helper. She doesn’t crave attention but adornes grace, beauty and usefulness to the household.”
— Lyndon Neri, Neri&Hu
