STUDIO A small award winning Nordic design studio that searches for the beauty and potential in everyday objects through experimental design processes.
THE CONCEPT
The Estonian name, NĂ–RK RACK comes from a combination of two words, rope and hook. NĂ–RK RACK rope is incredibly strong, light weight and supple. It can support human weight at great heights which makes it perfect to hang even your heftiest clothes. The hooks that turn our technically advanced ropes into cleverly designed house accessories are the result of long research into mountaineering equipment, nautical tools and functionally designed homeware. Each hook is designed to hold in place as soon as any weight is laid on them, and yet to glide freely along the rope to adjust for height.
