Askul is a Tokyo based mail ordering company that for several years has chosen to collaborate with Scandinavian designers. The design briefs are almost allways aiming for functional everyday objects to furnish the japanese public environments sold through their heavy catalouge that arrive four times every year. It offeres more or less anything you can think of from the very simple to the most refined.
Over the years I have been asigned to design wall clocks, mobile whiteboards, tables and as shown here: coathangers and umbrella stands.
