Shift hook is an aluminum/brass/pla wall-mounted hook for keys and small accessories.

The keyhole acts as a gatekeeper, serving as the point of contact for moving into and out of a space simultaneously. Shift hook captures this duality of arrival and departure, holding traces of leaving while concurrently welcoming the user in. The gesture of loading/unloading the hook creates an intuitive interaction that feels intentional.
