or Call to Order

PP Mobler’s Hang On was driven by Thomas E. Alken’s desire to give excep­tional scrap wood pieces a purpose beyond burning or being left unused. Enchant­ing pieces in ash, maple, oak, beech, walnut, cherry, and even uniden­ti­fied wood types became his muse. Each frag­ment, a unique color sample, possessed indi­vid­ual beauty and an intrigu­ing allure combined in various mixtures.

It comprises two essen­tial parts — a rail and a hanger — the beauty lies in its versa­til­ity. This hanger, crafted in diverse woods based on the work­shop’s current activ­ity, invites you to create your person­al­ized combi­na­tion of wood types. Assem­bled effort­lessly without the need for glue or tools, this hanger is a testa­ment to the art of repur­pos­ing and turning waste wood into a func­tional and visu­ally stunning accessory.
