Publisher Note

The fifth Street Report observes the klofer štange (carpet hangers) in the neighbourhoods of Zagreb, Croatia. These utilitarian furniture, commonly built in post-war socialist housing estates, function as a public hanging amenity to dust privately-owned carpets. Even though its relevance in public life may have waned with modern vacuum cleaners and other cleaning products, it still stands in between the housing blocks. Some have found new public functions, some find themselves in awkward situations as life rearranges itself, and some look almost as if they are minimalist sculptures. Why has it not been removed?
