Styling With Hardware: How To Use The Wright G-Clamp

Hardware, just as its name implies, is not often chosen as a decorative detail. The pieces are utilitarian and practical, but that's what I love about them and why I think they deserve to be valued beyond their hardworking capabilities and enjoyed for their aesthetic qualities, too.

Step into my interiors and you'll quickly realise the value I place on hardware. It's given a pedestal that's slightly foreign to its usual application. My new Henry Mercer collection of hardware let me revel in design. Choosing the key pieces I loved to bring new life to and place them firmly into a styling vernacular. I envisage these pieces as a clear meeting of form and function, so I'm offering up some ideas for styling with them. Let's start with the Wright G-Clamp.

1. Desk tool – Our Wright G-Clamp is the perfect tool for a busy worker. Clamp it to your desk to secure all of your paper ephemera; notes, letters, business cards & more. Alternatively, use it to secure a piece of fabric or table cloth to an old boring tabletop – it will hold it in place securely & immediately increase aesthetic appeal of a previously bland old work bench.

2. Hanging Mechanism – This G-Clamp is the perfect tool for hanging. Secure it to a shelf edge or picture rail & pair it with one of our cage lights, a cloth covered cord and a vintage LED bulb & you’re set! It’s also perfect for hanging artwork – suspend rope from the g-clamp & attach it to the back of your artwork. It’s great in a retail space to display pictures & cards of all sorts OR use it to hold down signage on those breezy days.

3. Kitchen Hardware – This piece can also be handy in the kitchen to hang tea towels, wash cloths, utensils, you name it. Lock it to a timber shelf edge (held up by our Panhandler Bracket) & hang from the handle lever. It’s a much nicer way to display things, especially in a hospitality venue which has an open kitchen that the public can see.

Winter Wonderland in Overland, Tasmania

Winter Wonderland in Overland, Tasmania

The overland Track in Tasmania’s Cradle Mountain is one of the most beautifully scenic, nature-immersing hikes you can possibly do. It will reset you into the rhythm and awe of nature. I went in late April when the Tanglefoot Fagus, an endemic deciduous beech endemic to the Tassie highlands  leaves were turning and littered the track like orange & yellow snowflakes.
