Pioneers in Hanging Innovation
Over 30 years ago, Arakawa pioneered the technology for a sleek, stealthy, and powerful hanging system that uses stainless steel cables to suspend artwork, banners, or shelves in the cleanest, most unobtrusive way possible. As other companies worked over decades to keep up, Arakawa stayed hard at work, innovating the original cable hanging systems to ensure that our form and function continue to surpass all others.
Our systems work seamlessly in most environments—residential, retail, commercial, and, of course, museums and galleries. (If we can handle The Smithsonian, we can definitely handle your living room!)
To ensure the proper installation, our team of knowledgeable representatives is always available to help you find the best solution for your space. Personal service is a priority at Arakawa, and it’s always a thrill to see our products used in new and imaginative ways by our clients.
Let us help you show your work, effortlessly.
Our Comprehensive Hanging Solutions
Art Hanging
Arakawa rails make hanging art a snap. Most artists, museums or galleries chose our MH3 and CRJ wall rails—all you need is the rail clip, cable and hook (or other midway gripper) and you are ready to hang your art. Our products are designed to be minimal and unobtrusive, so that unlike most picture hanging systems, you can show off your artwork, not the hardware that hangs it.
Shelving
If you’re hoping to hang shelves from the ceiling to highlight your retail or commercial products or gallery artwork, Arakawa’s suspended hanging display systems can hang shelves made of many different materials and sizes (up to 1” thick). You have many choices – our systems are designed to grip shelves from the edges or pass through the shelves to provide support from underneath. Our cable hangers and quick-release grippers make adjusting your shelf display simple—no more removing brackets and grid systems from the wall. Now it’s as easy as sliding the shelf up and down the cables.
Retail
The Arakawa hanging system allows for creativity and flexibility in creating your store and window displays. Options include hardware for hanging floating shelves, signs and graphics, hang rods, display boxes and whatever else you may need to best showcase your products. In the retail industry, seasons and styles change, sales happen and new product arrives on a regular basis. Our suspension hanging shelf systems allow for easy changes when needed, and highlight your products beautifully.
Sign and Banner
Since every situation is different, our hanging systems offer numerous options for hanging signs, banners and graphics with Arakawa’s hardware. Whether you’re interested in hanging signs from the ceiling, wall railings or stationary mounting pieces, Arakawa has the hardware to create the perfect hanging display, regardless of your installation needs. Sign clevices offer a clean, simple look, while midway grippers come in rotating and double-sided options, allowing for versatile applications.
Residential
Do you have art in your home that you’d like to display in a more subtle way than a frame allows? Our cable hanging systems provide the ultimate flexibility in terms of arrangement and adjustability making redecorating easy.
