I had the pleasure to meet the lovely Amelia from Harper’s Art in 2016 and she showed me the Torre Hanger and discussed the hanging systems they have developed - I have to say I was very impressed!
The products that Phil and Amelia from Harper’s Art have developed are pioneering in their field: they have gone back to the drawing board and looked at hanging fixings afresh. In essence the Torre Hanger can take a painting from storage rack to wall using additional items that are all interchangeable, making it the most adaptable, flexible and secure fixing on the market. Gone are the days of taking fixings off and on! The Torre Hanger takes a work flush to the wall and is a way to hang a piece of art invisibly and safely using a T Screw or cross point screw fixings (similar to a certain hanging fixing used in museums and galleries but better!).

The Torre Hanger can be also be used in conjunction with the Harper’s Art’s Art Hanging Track using rod, wire or Perlon. Tapestries and textiles may also be hung using the Art Hanging Track.
