maybe the fattest and roundest is the hanger CdG has in stores.
it has an ideal form the best for me, and they give me a bundle when I shop.
really great if you don't think it has to be wood.
I guess it is practically impossible to make their hanger in that thickness out of wood.
it would cost $$$.
for the past ten years, some designers have developed their own hangers.
each hanger has its own reason from the designer's peculiar viewpoint.
for example the main reason maurizio altieri used to use "meat hook" is he wanted to show how his clothes were made (sewn) on the reverse side unobtrusively.
LUC used to display his knits on to a circle hung on a coil spring because he wanted to do something about the status quo that knits are laid flat, and he thought it's a weak way to present them. especially the presence of knit stuff in stores could sometimes be like side dish.
also he wanted the weight to be visualized.
(though he doesn't use the circle these days, just the coil spring used like the meet hook after his ex-boss, since the inside is the outside in his world too and his knits are often tough almost like canvas and now there are much more fabric pieces than the earlier days.)
in short it has been also about how to show clothes.
discoverablity as well as functionality.

and now this object below is the latest hanger that a newborn label called devoa invented in collaboration with a 60 years old hanger maker, nakata hanger.
they carved a block of beech into this shape that looks like a little manta.
it's trapezius.
a garment is supposed to hang on trapezius rather than on shoulders and neck,
and look sitting naturally on it to be discovered differently.
there will also be other material versions for domestic use later.
of course it's not for something too heavy or tailored in a orthodox way.

Mine come in a package with a white, green, blue, and ... ivory?? But they're, you know, in the closet, so I don't feel they need to match anything
