We’re hanging out to learn more about these hooks

Marz Designs ‘Bright Bead’ wall hooks

DESIGNER: Coco Reynolds Sydney-based industrial designer Coco has always been passionate about creating. Her love of the design and architecture movements of the ’50s and ’60s informs her designs, but they are also shaped by her own contemporary aesthetic. Inspired by her popular range of ‘Bright Beads’ pendant lights, Coco expanded on these with her collection of wall hooks. "With some adjustments, the timber beads have an entirely new function,” says Coco. Crafted from American oak, American walnut and American ash, the hooks showcase the natural grain and beauty of timber. “They’re turned on a timber lathe by a third-generation timber craftsman in Australia,” says Coco. “Each one is then itted with a lag screw and waxed with beeswax.” The shapes denote di erent purposes, with the Spin hook (above) ideal for hanging multiple items. From $50 each, marzdesigns.com.

Anchor Ceramics wall hooks

DESIGNER: Bruce Rowe Having spent the majority of his professional life as an architect and an educator in architecture, Bruce Rowe’s movement into ceramics was a natural one. “Both disciplines involve the body, materiality, light, scale, form and space,” says Bruce. Based in Melbourne, Anchor creates lighting, planters, hooks and more. “There are so many ways of working with clay, and it has sustained prehistoric, agricultural, industrial and technological periods,” says Bruce. The wall hooks are available in three sizes and glazes. “They're made with stoneware clay, mixed to our own recipe. They’re extruded through a 3D-printed die and hand-carved into shape,” he says. “They are then inished using our own glaze recipe – we also powdercoat the screw heads to match the glaze.” From $95 each, anchorceramics.com.

Scandiluxe ‘Scoop’ wall hooks

DESIGNERS: Nikki & Julian Reid While renovating their home together, Julian and Nikki needed wall hooks and decided to make their own from leftover dowel. “We liked them so much that we thought others might feel the same way,” says Nikki. Three years later, Scandiluxe now o ers a range of timber homewares, including their 'Scoop' hooks. The Queensland-based couple are inspired by traditional Scandinavian design and craftsmanship. “Slow, simple living is always in our minds when creating,” says Nikki. “It’s a lifestyle as much as it is a look.” Working with American oak and walnut timbers, the ‘Scoop’ hook marries perfectly with the solid brass tip. “Natural materials tell a story and there is something really important about bringing that practical beauty into the home,” says Nikki. “We love the simplicity and calmness of its form.” $34.95 each, scandiluxe.com.
