Did you miss me, my little love ferrets? Thought not. Anyway, enough about me, observe and nod sagely at the Wardrom, a clothes organiser for messy geeks everywhere. Rather than throw your clothes on the floor, simply aim them at the pegs on the wall. More info and pics below.
Designed by a trio of Italian designers known as Paula, Wardrom is described as a vertical wardrobe "to enhance disaster", ie, celebrate the fact that you are a scruffy bastard who, despite your mother's/girlfriend's/parole officer's best attempts to domesticate you, constantly pooh-poohs the idea of order and neatness in the bedroom.
Anyways, I think that Valerio Ciampicacigli, Gabriel Berretta and Simone Bartolucci, the three disorder-orderers, have just invented a fabulous clothes-shedding game. You know, allocate points per peg and item of clothing and, voilĂ ! A more interesting version of foreplay than bottle recycling. [Dezeen]

I'd get it, if the color choices weren't uniformly hideous.
I'd get two sets for both sides of my hallway and jam an old shower curtain haphazardly between the two walls. Then I'll have a ready explanation when my lousy cleaning habits lead to the apartment looking like a garbage compacter.
HEEY, ADDY'S BACK!
Welcome back kiddo! :)
...
Think of the fun you'll have wrestling your little brother onto THIS!
That'll teach him to change the channel.
Addy! I missed you! Will you cheat on Jesus with me? :P
Sounds like the perfect item for a follow up on the movie Very Bad Things (1998) with Jeremy Piven.
I have something a lot like this at my home, only instead of it being vertically oriented, it horizontal.
Yeah, it the floor next to my bed.
Love ferrets?
If the ferret comment is about my odor, again - I'm sorry.
It's all fun and games until someone is impaled.
I can't imagine any safety freaks having a problem with this product.
@Ghede:
Agreed. Color choices are all ugly. And the design itself is ugly, and doesn't look like it would catch clothes very consistently, especially that underwear and other stuff that's up there.
Terrible.
A far better design would be to build it like multiple shelves, but with multiple, asymmetric, gaps removed from shelves (kind of like "dotted" line shelves), and have the gaps be at different places between the shelves. You could even adjust the shape and angle of the shelves to make the shape look interesting. You could also make the intermittent shelves "wavy" to give the thing some flow. It would look far better, and do just as good a job of creating a sense of "enhanced disaster".
I use to have one of those in my dungeon. Really hard to get all the blood satins off of them.

If someone actually wanted to do this, just attach a bunch of funky coat pegs on the wall. We're all techies here, why not use old cell phones or Atari controllers for pegs?
Of course, Wardrom spelled backward is Mordraw....but you knew that, right?....
It's a good idea. You could do the same thing with a bunch of colored fishing floats, affixed to a board or even light grill that sits on your wall. Something like these, or cheaper, no-lead fishing float/pegs [www.thornebros.com]
Mine clothing board would need a fan pointed at it so my sweaty clothes could dry in my laundry room before they became extra foul with odor or discoloring growths.
@delithic: im glad you said it i was thinking the same thing but the movie name escaped me.
dead hookers will surely result from this
Wait for these suckers to retract BEFORE trying a wall-run, Prince of Persia. Sheesh.
Hmmm, throw in a little alcohol, a dare, and you have yourself one nifty little velcro-esque death trap.
But cool none-the-less.
That guy in the pic isn't a geek, he's got a muscle. I can see it.
who's blue thong?
Turn your clothes into art.
Yeah, I agree, a choice of color pegs would be nice. White would blend in.
Or Blue. Most geeks love blue.
So, I would definitely order it if it were to come in blue.
This give new meaning to the phrase "Air out your dirty laundry."
My daughter could use these.
If I wanted to hang things vertically I'd use the closet.
I'm lazy.
When they invent a device that turns gravity 90 degrees, then I may be interested in this, but the spikes would have to be retractable because the wall would really just become the floor, and who wants big spikes on their floor (besides zenpoet, whom apparently already has spikes on the floor next to his bed)
I'll just buy one from my dungeon... only I'll throw PEOPLE on the wall. :P
I'm ashamed of not having thought of this before.
@Fierock:
I think zenpoet was just saying he uses his floor as a clothes organizing tool. Not that his floor had spikes.
I pretty much do the same thing. I've got a clean clothes basket and a dirty clothes basket. Simple and effective.
Do the pegs really have to be so sharp and pointy to be effective? I can just imagine someone loseing an eye with this product.
