Magnetic clothes hangers rearrange your closet

As with most things that have remained fairly constant over the years, it was just a matter of time before someone with a tick of free time and a bright idea gave a new face to the clothes hanger. Daniel To's simply-named magnetic clothes hangers maintain the same forked design to gingerly hold your favorite threads, but rather than sporting a rotating hook, a magnetic cube was attached in order to give design-conscience homeowners a new way to assemble their closets. Of course, you'll need a metallic rack / roof to take advantage of the attractive (ahem) design, but we sure hope these end up coming in a heavy duty flavor for the more weighted aspects of our wardrobe.

Pretty kick-ass, except you'd then be exchanging one problem with another: no more linear orderliness and no more sliding clothes around the rack to get to something else.

Interesting, though probably not great for short people.

why not make all the walls and roof out of metal, and then put strong magnets inside the pockets of all your clothes. That way you could just throw your clothes into the closet.
