A clever solution for more space in the home

The Hangbird clothes horse is an innovative solution for anyone who wants to dry their laundry in a space-saving and efficient way. Thanks to an ingenious cable system, the rack can simply be lifted under the ceiling, creating more space for everyday use. The idea behind it: Drying laundry without compromising on design, functionality and sustainability. Messe.TV had the flying clothes horse demonstrated at Heim und Handwerk 2016.

High-quality materials and sophisticated technology

The Hangbird clothes horse is made of German beech and high-quality ropes from the sailing industry, which are water-resistant and lightfast. The integrated pulley system enables easy handling - even when the rack is fully loaded. With a maximum washing line of 22 meters, the largest model offers more space than conventional folding clothes drying racks.

Sustainability and energy saving

Sustainability is a key aspect of the Hangbird concept. Production is carried out in cooperation with workshops for people with disabilities, and the materials used guarantee a long service life. The Hangbird also supports an environmentally friendly alternative to electric tumble dryers, which can account for up to 25% of a household's electricity consumption.

Individual customization options

The Hangbird is available in different sizes and colors to fit perfectly into any living situation. Customers can choose between different wood and rope colors to create an individual design. Easy installation and flexible customization make it a practical and stylish addition to any home.

Sales and future prospects

The Hangbird is currently available directly from the manufacturer's website, but the company plans to expand its distribution network and offer the clothes horse in furniture stores. With this well thought-out and sustainable product, Hangbird is setting new standards in the field of household solutions and offers an elegant solution for environmentally conscious consumers

Room concepts for small and flexible living spaces

Space-saving solutions are becoming increasingly important, especially in urban living situations. Living space is being used more multifunctionally, furniture and everyday objects must be able to be integrated flexibly. Systems that are present when needed and otherwise take up hardly any space meet this requirement and fit unobtrusively into existing living concepts. Especially in apartments without a separate utility room, drying laundry is an everyday challenge. Ceiling-based solutions address this issue and deliberately move functions upstairs - where space often remains unused.

  • Optimal use of the room height
  • More freedom of movement in everyday life
  • Suitable for smaller apartments and open floor plans
  • Combinable with different furnishing styles

Drying laundry as part of a conscious household

The way in which laundry is dried is increasingly also a question of lifestyle. Mechanical solutions without electricity consumption stand for a more conscious use of energy and resources. At the same time, there is a greater focus on the durability of products, as long-lasting household items save costs and materials in the long term. The interplay between function, choice of material and use shows that even everyday processes such as drying laundry can be part of a more sustainable household concept - without technical complexity or additional maintenance.

  • Reducing energy consumption in the household
  • More gentle drying for textiles
  • Less wear and tear due to mechanical stress
  • Long-term use instead of short-lived solutions
