TORCH HOOK

Designed by Tore Bleuzé

Just like a medieval torch, Torch Hook metal bracket is attached to the wall and wooden pin is easily stick in.

It is an item of simple yet clever design. You can hang the clothes, jackets or scarves on the wooden pin and place a coat hanger behind it on the specially shaped bracket.

The Torch is made of ash wood and powder coated metal, sold in pairs and available in four different colours.

Torch Hook is definitely an eye-catcher on the wall of your own cosy castle.

DESIGNER

TORE BLEUZÉ

Young and versatile industrial designer. He received his M.S. degree in Industrial Design at Howest, University College of West Flanders in 2007. Over the past 8 years he has worked as a designer on projects ranging from multidisciplinary academic research through to creating new products for several companies.

He developed 'design to connect', an online joining methods inspiration database for designers. Also he organised several editions of 'shaping matter', an event and exhibition on innovative materials in Belgium.

In 2013 he started 'studio obi-one' where he combines freelance design work with personal projects. With his personal creations he tries to combine functionality and simplicity to create honest and affordable products.

Design that is independent of time, without any need to be replaced because of its outdated looks — isn't it an extra step towards sustainability? Besides, it happens to be a rewarding investment for both its users and creators.

In our fifth design story, we introduce one more talented creative we collaborate with. Meet Tore Bleuzé — a full-time industrial designer, combining functionality and simplicity to create honest, meaningful, and long-lasting designs. Examples of such: Step Up shoe rack and Torch hooks, designed for and successfully integrated into EMKO furniture collection.

KICKSTARTING EMKO WITH STEP UP

"Step Up shoe rack is one of the pioneer products we started our journey with. A bestseller back then and still an eyecatcher ten years after — possibly, a timeless piece? Obviously, design does not have to be all flamboyant to find a place at our homes, to serve a function, and ultimately, to make our daily life more pleasant”. Designed for shoes primarily, Step Up is open for creativity, making it a versatile piece. Also, exploiting vertical space, the Step Up shoe rack is an excellent benefit for smaller spaces.
