London-based designer Ryan Frank likes to combine ideas from the digital world with sustainable materials from the natural world. One such amalgamation is Zilka, a sixties-inspired clothes hanger made from Sundela board, a material derived from recycled and compressed newspaper. A fresh alternative to wooden and plastic hangars, the retro designs are digitally printed on the retro newspapers for a modern, clean, fun way to keep wrinkles out of shirts and belts and accessories organized. Designer Frank has got some other interesting ideas and designs, including a bookshelf that he cobbles together with blocks of graffiti found around London. Groovy, man. ::Ryan Frank via ::The Green Guy
