Appreciation towards Stilsucht for providing the following description:

好巧的挂钩。两个平行杆自然受力，靠自重固定在所依的管子上，前端圆头可挂各种物件。这款设计十分适用于德国战前修建的建筑，这期间的建筑房间内通常有两根并列平行的水管。
（其它地方的建筑也适用哦，比如小编所在的公寓走廊内…）家具物件挂上去都没问题。这算得上是朴实无华的奇思妙想。共五种颜色，代表德国的五个城市。网店Stilsucht有售。

The Cliffhanger is a design by Thomas Schmitz and its natural habitat is primarily – but not exclusively – in typical German “Altbau” high ceilinged, raw, pre war buildings apart- ments, since two parallel water pipes are necessary to utilize the clever helper. Cliffhanger is simply clipped between them and is then available as a flexible hook.

No matter whether you want to warm up the bath towel, hang a net of onions, lemons or potatos in the kitchen or want to clear away jackets and coats, the hook is versatile and universally usable and convinces through its wonderfully unpretentious appearance while being easily fastened by its own weight.

The first batch comes in five different colors and each is an ode to the heart of cities. Berlin is represented by an urban Kreuzberg gray, Munich is a friendlySchwabing blue, Cologne has a sunny Ehrenfeld yellow, Frankfurt hails with a cordial Bornheim red and Hamburg shows a maritime Schanze blue.

By the way, Cliffhanger is made in Berlin and was developed in the Stephanus workshops Berlin, a non profit workshop for social and vocational integration and rehabilitation of disabled people.

You can order the Cliffhanger through Stilsucht for 19,00€ (plus shipping).
