Analysis on piotical changes in Hanger Design: From 1850 to 2003

시대적 흐름에 따른 옷걸이 변화에 관한 연구 -1850년경부터 2003년까지 -

This study explores aesthetics and materials used in domestic and international hanger designs from 1850 to 2003. At the second half of the nineteenth century, most hangers were handmade and made of wood and metal. At the first half of the twentieth century, such diverse materials as paper, plastics, and leather began to use other than such typical materials as wood and metal at the previous decades. However, from the second half of the twentieth century the use of different types of plastics led to artistic abnormal shapes within typical triangular types. Moreover, this study also examines hangers by its functions: primary, portable, and multi-functional types.
