Junho Kang‘s Grip Hanger infuses everyday clothing storage with the essence of sports climbing. Drawing inspiration from climbing holds, this innovative design transforms conventional hangers and racks into functional sculptural pieces.

The collection reimagines classic climbing grips – jugs, crimps and pockets – as vibrant, ergonomic components. These familiar shapes echo the hand positions used in climbing, turning routine storage into an engaging experience. The rack’s design incorporates climbing wall aesthetics through angular surfaces and strategic perforations, which also allow for modular customization with shelves and hooks.

A detachable shelf provides practical storage for smaller items while maintaining the design’s cohesive aesthetic. By merging sporting elements with domestic functionality, the Grip Hanger serves both minimalist spaces and active households alike.

Kang’s creation elevates everyday storage into a playful intersection of sport and design, offering a fresh perspective on how functional objects can embody both adventure and innovation.
