Crayonne towel hook

Description

A white coloured, double towel hook, designed by Conran Associates and manufactured by Crayonne Ltd, a subsidiary of Airfix Plastics set up in 1972. David Sinigaglia, Managing Director of Airfix Industries, approached Conran to apply high design principles to everyday homewares which included this range of bathroom accessories that were sold in Habitat stores (see AIBDC : 008970 - 008971). It is attached via a separate piece of black ABS (missing in this example) which is mounted on the wall, the towel rack hooking onto a protruding lip. Injection moulded in polished acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), chosen for its scratch and shatter resistance, like other examples from Crayonne the wall of the object was designed to be almost twice as thick as comparable products on the market.
