As I've been visiting PP Møbler, I often got fascinated by the many wonderful pieces of waste wood that naturally appears in the creation of PP Møbler's collection. There were pieces in ash, maple, oak, beech, walnut and cherry as well as various other wood types, which I didn't immediately recognize.
— Thomas E. Alken
Each piece was like a color sample: Both individually beautiful, but also exciting in a mix of many different woods, where color and grain look good in combinations.
These pieces of waste wood fascinated me. They were far too good to burn but too small to be part of a chair or a table. So I went home wondering if I could figure out a good product that would make use of them.
Eventually Alken designed this simple and practical hanger consisting of two basic parts. A rail and a hanger, where the hangers are produced in all possible woods depending on the current activity in the workshop.
The two parts are easily assembled without the use of glue or tools, so it is possible to make your very own combination of wood types.

PP Møbler was founded on April 2, 1953 by brothers Lars Peder and Ejnar Pedersen in Allerød, a small town north of Copenhagen. The company has evolved through three generations of master cabinetmakers into one of the world's most important and highly skilled workshops. Each day artisans use advanced traditional techniques as well as cutting edge technology to make some of the most exceptionally demanding and yet beautifully resolved furniture ever designed.
The first generation was a strong team. Lars Peder Pedersen was a man of the workshop with extraordinary skills. His leadership and enthusiasm created an atmosphere that inspired his craftsmen to achieve the high standards which gained the Company a reputation for outstanding quality. Ejnar Pedersen was more of a creative thinker with a strong network to architects and designers. His frequent experiments and making of prototypes led to the close friendship and collaboration with Hans J. Wegner that has become the cornerstone of the development of this brand.
All designs are made to order and the PP Møbler ambition is to create furniture that will be enjoyed and treasured for generations.
