Alf

The hook of each standard hanger fits perfectly into the cut-out grooves that separate the hangers neatly from each other at the same time. Ideal for airing clothes, for example, or for hanging them ready for the next day.

Transparency of the production chain comes naturally to us.

For us, that doesn't just mean giving information about where something has been produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!

We'll tell you the whole story. Click on the buttons to discover the different steps:

Alf was designed by the Swedish designer Gustav Rosén. He has his own design studio in Stockholm where he develops IT concepts as well as furniture, lighting and everyday objects.

The inspiration for Alf comes from precision turned components for engines, where different parts fit perfectly with each other. He translated this principle into a beautiful item for the interior.

Gustav Rosén

"I wanted to design a wall hook that would perfectly fit a standard clothes hanger in a surprising but also satisfying way. I also wanted the hook to have a different look than a typical wall hook, without losing its functionality".

Gustav Rosén

Alf has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2020. The simple but clever design of this wall hook immediately appealed to us. It is a product that is functional and space-saving, but at the same time easy on the eyes. A hook that makes your wall look impressive! Ideal for airing your clothes or to hang them neatly, ready for the next day.

"What we like about the Alf is that this wall hook has a kind of extra function by creating the possibility to hang several clothes hangers on one hook. In addition, we find that the design language used fits in well with the function of the product and that the hook also looks aesthetically pleasing".

Arjan & Anieke

The Alf is a very basic product that consists of only one material, which means that there is not much technology needed to make it. Gustav had already taken care of the right design, so all we had to do was fine-tune it: creating the right suspension mechanism and finding a suitable manufacturer. Working from Stockholm, Gustav had contacts with a producer in Lithuania. This turned out to be a good partner. We had a number of prototypes made there and these were almost right from the start. After some final minor adjustments in the details, we were good to go!

The Alf is made from a solid piece of oak wood and is produced in Lithuania by a company that specializes in CNC wood turning. This company was already a contact of the designer from Sweden, since Lithuania is 'on the other side of the water' for him.

The product is then coated with a protective layer of linseed oil in natural or black in Vij5 's workshop.

In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.
