Check Out These Awesome Super Hero Coat Hangers By Constance Guisset ⇒ Constance Guisset Studio was founded in 2009. Specialized in product design, interior design and scenography, it gathers around Constance Guisset a team of designers and architects. The Studio intends to create light and animated objects, aiming to arouse wonder and to invoke a moment of escape in dreams.
Constance Guisset looked to the “iconic” silhouette of a superhero’s cloak when creating this colourful collection of kids coat hangers for French brand Leblon Delienne. Called Super Hanger, the design features a single piece of shaped plastic that curves inwards at the “neck” to resemble the outline of a cape worn by superheroes in pop culture comics and films.
The hanger is constructed so that the coat fits inside the shape of the cape. This allows the product to look like a superhero floating in mid-air. “The idea was to invite you to place your coat under the cape. It reminds you that you are an everyday superhero. You leave with your coat on and your secret identity stays at home,” Guisset said.
The Paris-based designer wanted to create a product that conveys the “power and elegance” of a superhero without being too literal.
The designer spent time working with the materials to ensure that she had found the best shape for the hangers. “We did a lot of research and models in order to find the right shape. I tried to make it more and more abstract from one model to another. For instance, I wondered if it also needed a mask or what was the right height of the collar,” said Guisset.
“The cape needed to convey movement, like when it is floating in the air, but without too many details. The pleats were precisely designed in order to remind us of a superhero cape, with minimum elements,” she explained.
