Dezeen has teamed up with lifestyle brand Charles & Marie to give away six Trophy Hangers by designer Phil Cuttance.
The range, which Charles & Marie showed in Milan last month, parodies hunting trophies and includes a hippo, giraffe and moose design. Each set contains two coat hooks - the front and back end of the animal.
“I liked the idea of making mini coat hangers from toy animals and thought - why waste their back ends?” says Cuttance. “They worked well as hooks too. I tried several animals and the moose, hippo and giraffe seemed to really work - and look - the best.”
He adds: ” I tried sea creatures but they didn’t function very well due to their streamline nature.”
The hooks are made out of poly resin and are 7 cm wide, 11 cm high and extend out roughly 8 cm.
We have two of each Trophy Hanger design to give away.
This competition has now closed.
Prizes are courtesy of Charles & Marie. Get details of all Dezeen’s competitions sent to your inbox by subscribing to Dezeenmail.

this is a blatant copy pof nymphenburg`s big 5. How embarassing !

how hideous…
Best thing to do: hang a big black coat to cover it
…better have a look at Nymphenburg´s “Big Five” released last winter. Classy & smart humour

Always lots of arguments over people copying others.. I would say the first to publicly show their work is the originator..its no good saying it was designed in ‘05 if you cannot prove it

Try again Adriana - I just checked and it’s working okay

I’m amused at the argument concerning copying, this somewhat covers the main point that this is pretentious drivel. Waste of material, waste of space as if there wasn’t enough of this as it is.
