Rethink Hanger uses plastic bottles to hang clothes

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on January 21st, 2010

In the quest to eliminate waste, or at least stop some waste from hitting landfills, humans have created some interesting designs in the last 2 years. This is the latest. The Rethink, a hanger that’s not a hanger until you ttach two plastic bottles.

It’s from designer Xuan Yu and it’s just a hook with two holes that hold empty bottles. Just pick from all the empty bottles you’ve been hoarding and screw them into the holes. Now you have yourself a hanger. One that isn’t as flat as a normal hanger and won’t let you hang as many garments in your closet, but at least you are being green right?

Hang your external hard drive on your laptopYour laptop probably didn’t come with enough hard disk space, so chances are you buy an external hard drive, but that takes up desk space, and suddenly your laptop feels more like a desktop. Plus there’s the wires to get in your way. That’s where this Hang it On hard drive enclosure comes in handy. Just throw a 500GB drive inside and attach it to the back of your laptop and problem solved. Sure, it doesn’t do much for your laptop’s looks, but it keeps the drive out of your way and keeps it all portable.
