TOMORROW'S NEWS
Sometimes you just get so angry you could throw that kitchen knife into the wall. Or you could just screw them in instead and use them as hangers.
Knife hooks
TC STUDIO product designer Tianyi Chang fused the violent with the insightful in creating the hooks, which were inspired by her collection of pocketknives.
"The hooks seemed like a practical thing to me," Chang said. "I turned it into something funny with some humor and I hope people don't read too far into it."
The knives are attached to the wall with an anchor. You attach the anchor into the wall and then screw in the knife hook. It's pretty simple, but it can't be done in stone or brick with the included anchors.
Chang isn't interested in mass-producing her designs. You won't see these in Target or Wal-Mart and she is focusing more on small batches of her products.
"There's a desire for something more unique and personal, though that is not always possible," Chang said. "But it's growing in the U.S."
