re.cycle.
designer’s own words:
The product turns two plastic bottles into a clothes hanger by screwing the bottles into the hook. By the concept that reuses empty plastic bottles, I try to present to consumers a realistic idea to address environmental realities and encourage the reuse of already “consumed†items to form a new functional product. The design incorporates the following features that make it practical and appealing to both producers and consumers: • Low cost, realistic commodity • The shape of the bottle provides more fit support for the shoulder of clothes than traditional ones • Inspire the interest of users: the concept will attract consumers and inspire a rethinking of consumption habits
