apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Twisthanger by Matt Carr for Umbra

For those odds and ends that never seem to find a proper home, the Twisthanger from Umbra features six plastic hooks that could help hide belts, bags and other small accessories in a closet...

 
 

Because the hooks are plastic, they'll cut down on scratches made by similar metal hanging organizers. Designed by Umbra creative director Matt Carr, the Twisthanger is available for $10.50 from Umbra.

I think this will be finding a place in my closet for my belts very soon.

Seems to me that for the same $10, 20 little 50-cent hooks from the hardware store mounted on the wall of the closet would accomplish alot more...

I agree with bepsf. It looks cumbersome and awkward to use. An old fashioned coat hook works way better. I have all my belts on a coat hook and ,gee guess what, I can put a coat or even two on top of it all.

I have a security deposit to think of and I like this better than hooks. The hooks are probably screws on the other end and not nails, which make bigger holes in my walls.

I have a row of small hooks mounting inside of my closet for belts/scarves, but I don't use it because it's such a chore to dig through the clothes (tiny closet packed tight!) to get to the hooks. I like this idea much better!

Somewhere a long time ago, I got a belt hanger. It's like a hanger with dozen or so small hooks close together and it's coated metal with rubber tips on each hook. This thing has 6 slots, so you probably need several? I think the tangled mass would take up more space. Every time I see someone come out with a "better" idea for closet organization like this one, I wonder if belt hangers are extinct or I'm the only one in the world who ever heard of one. I don't even remember where it came from, I probably have had it since I was a child.

Anyway, unless you live in an architectural splendor of authoritative decor, no landlord will think their apartment is defaced when someone hangs hooks inside the closet. I am not and never have been a landlord but would be shocked if they noticed, and if they would withhold a partial deposit to take them out and restore it to hookless.
