Coat hanger — Icelandic design "Krummi"
Product Description
Krummi Bird Hanger is perfect for hanging your coat, favourite clothes or accessories. Krummi means raven in Icelandic and a raven will often steel shiny objects for its nest. Therefore the idea behind the coat hanger is to display our “shiny” clothes instead of hiding them away in a closet.
The raven has more positive connotations in Icelandic folklore than in many countries. Ravens, for instance, discovered Iceland for Hrafna-Flóki, a Viking who set free two ravens to find land. In Norse mythology Odinn had two ravens called Huginn and Muninn. They travel around the world each day and at night they sit on Odinn´s shoulder and tell him what they have seen and heard. Thus Odinn knows everything that happens in the world. The raven often appears is Icelandic children stories and is usually depicted as a wise bird.
The Krummi Bird Hanger is available in two sizes, normal for adults and children size for the younger people.
Normal size: 43x 20,5 x 1,5 cm. ( 17 x 8 x 0.6 Inches)
Children size: 33x 16 x 1,5 cm. ( 16 x 6.3 x 0.6 Inches)
The Krummi coat hanger is made of lacquered plywood in Iceland. Designer Ingibjorg Hanna Bjarnadottir.
