I went searching for an interesting standard-material that both functionally and aesthetically matches to the given steel rods. Thereby, I discovered a braided sleeving usually used to protect cables. On the one hand, when putting the fabric over a rod and pulling on it, the sleeving expands and minimizes its diameter, causing high friction between textile and metal. On the other hand, when pushing the ends of the fabric together, the material widens and it becomes moveable.
Based on these special characteristics, I designed a modular wardrobe with sliding hooks, whose position can be adapted to the respective clothing.
