The Hangelier 2.1 Clothes Hanger Lampshade

091809organelle1.jpgLeah over at our D.C. site cited Organelle's repurposed clothes hanger light amongst a few other Uniquely Re-Purposed Lighting Fixtures. It seems they've updated and upgraded the design from plastic to a wooden clothes hanger model...

The Hangelier series are lampshades crafted from salvaged and off-the-shelf materials. The parts are arranged to provide delight from different points - referencing classic light shade forms from a distance while surprising viewers up close with it's unique material palette.

The Hangelier 2.1 comes attached with a cable and hook for hanging your shade from the ceiling. Light/cord package not included.

Available at Organelle's etsy shop.

The inside of the shade looks a lot more interesting than the outside.

I can pretty much see just about anything made into a lamp, but this is very cool. Yes, the inside is more interesting than the out.
Love the out of the box thinking.

Take the hooks out and it would look so much better.

Like it. It would look good without the metal hooks, too. The wave on the outside created by the wood where the hooks attach would be more prominent that way.

I have to agree with Laucus 116. Very cool though.

Funny thing is, when Paradise lookout was built back in the mid 60's up at Mt Rainier National park, they did a similar concept with skis and ski poles for their lighting pendants around the main floor, quite appropros of the surroundings.
