SUSPANCE – rubber boots organiser

A rubber boots organiser
Suspance comes from the moment the gardener finishes his work, at the end of which he places his objects and organizes them in order to keep them in the right place.
Where many of these tools have a precise location and space, rubber boots are very often left out in the garden or garage, without a real specific container.
Suspance develops at first on issues related to space: the specific space, indicated and recommended where to store objects when used and when not used, relationships with the user and the object in question.
Suspance consists mainly of 4 aluminum panels, three of which are connected together and one that acts as a pin to attach the object to the wall.
The object has a simple and minimal design: the shapes are sinuous and the corners are rounded. It has a wavy and smooth grip to increase stability in the footing of the boot sole.
The long lower hook allows the removal of the boot from the foot through a simple pressure towards the center of gravity of the user and the lifting of the heel: the reinforced edge of the boot is retained by the curved hook which does not damage it due to its rounded protrusion shape.
The 30-degree tilt of the top panel facilitates movement and provides greater adherence to the boot.
The horizontal surface is connected by the inclined one and the vertical one: it not only balances the stability of the object but reinforces the point of pressure of the boot on the grip.
The vertical surface parallel to the wall is hooked directly with the interlocking panel, through a mechanism of slight inclination and vertical insertion, focused on the gravity and weight of the entire object unloaded on two long hooks and blocked by a vertical ledge.
The ends of the horizontal and inclined panels are covered with two thin black TPE insertion bars: this polymer has a certain flexibility allowing the bars to be removed and repositioned easily, also ensuring a certain adherence to the surface and protecting the sharp shapes generated by the extrusion cutting process.
Easy to clean and mount, it is safe to handle and light to carry.
The technology of extrusion of aluminum allows to generate through a single mold, long profiles with different details. Moreover, aluminium, once extruded, assumes a higher hardness ensuring rigidity to the material.
Suspance is an object suitable for any type of environment, inside and outside, which does not fear dirt (such as mud) or thermal changes, allowing you to parade and organize rubber boots without handling them.
