Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Sunday, March 19, 2017 8 4 NEATFREAK USED A TOOTHBRUSH & A RAZOR AS INSPIRATION IN NON-SLIP HANGER INNOVATION Market analysis can inspire designers by utilizing existing design and technology from other categories. That was the case with neatfreak's patented "W" non-slip hanger, giving birth to a bigger and glob- ally accepted non-slip hanger story. For three decades, Neatfreak Group has designed, manufactured and distrib- uted innovative products to retailers around the world. Neatfreak provides imaginative solutions that make life easi- er, keep things organized and help con- trol chaos from the closet to the laundry room and beyond. First, it took inspiration from dispos- able shaver handles, which offer stiff durability yet are lightweight, and devel- oped a thin profile structure that adds durability to a simple hanger. The result was a 10 percent increase in strength for the same material weight compared to a simple plastic tubular hanger design. It's also thinner than the stan- dard tubular plastic hanger and allows the consumer to fit 22 percent more clothes in the same amount of closet space. Who doesn't want more closet space? With maxi- mum durability while using less material, reducing the carbon footprint, it's a true environmental story. Next, it integrated the soft grip han- dle of a toothbrush into its design to develop the non-slip hanger. Bi-material injection was introduced in toothbrushes 20 years ago as a way to improve the grip. Using the same technology and adding the soft-grip elastomer to plastic hangers, neatfreak provided non-slip capability and gave birth to a whole new category of hooks and hangers with improved functionality. Together, these innova- tions have brought hangers out of the dark ages of wire to the space-age design of plastic and polymers. Neatfreak non-slip hangers and hooks can be found in closets around the world. Inspiration is all around us. Let neat- freak inspire you to control the chaos!

TAZZA VACUUM MUG FROM TIMOLINO Established in 1994, Timolino, Ltd. has quickly made a name for itself in the vac- uum drinkware industry. Timolino prides itself in delivering high-quality products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. From travel mugs and tea infuser mugs to coffee presses and hydration bot- tles, Timolino has got you covered. The Tazza, one of its best-selling items, is a 12-ounce vacuum insulated mug with an attached infuser basket. Made out of electro-polished food-grade 18/8 stainless steel inside and out, the vacuum insulation keeps drinks hot (or cold) and fresh for hours. The Tazza itself is made out of stain- less steel, with accessories made out of silicone and polypropylene plastic – all food-safe materials and BPA-free. The slim and curved profile of the Tazza makes it easy to carry in your hand or in a small purse or tote so you can take it wherever you go. The electro-polished food-grade 18/8 stainless steel liners do not absorb beverage colors or flavors. To use the Tazza, simply drop loose tealeaves or fresh coffee grounds inside the infuser bas- ket and screw the basket onto the lid. Make sure the basket is safely secured and latched onto the lid correctly. Pour hot water into the mug and secure the lid tightly. Allow the appropriate time for the tea or coffee to steep or brew. Once your drink is ready, remove the basket with loose tea leaves or coffee grounds, and your drink is ready! This mug is perfect for mul- titasking and people on the go. Every part of the Tazza, from the lid to the infuser basket and everything in between, comes apart easily for a quick and painless clean up. The lid can be safely washed on the top rack of the dishwasher. The body of the mug is not recommended for dishwasher use, as it may affect the vacuum insulation. The Tazza is completely leak-proof, making your com- mute worry-free. You can toss it in your bag or backpack without worrying about making a mess. The Tazza Vacuum Mug comes in four colors: Candy Pink, Red, Wasabi Green and Stainless Steel.
