Arakawa - the well-known wire system from Japan

One of the most popular hanging solutions chosen by architects and interior designers for pictures and displays, as well as used in shopfitting and shops to present goods, is the Arakawa wire system from Japan. All elements are designed to be minimalist and unobtrusive so that - unlike most hanging systems - you can show off your products and not be distracted by eye-catching shelves and plate supports. Installers especially appreciate the easy and time-saving installation of the wires and grippers, as all wire grippers have a ball technology that allows the wire grippers to be locked and released at the touch of a button.

The Arakawa system allows creativity and flexibility in the design of your shop and window displays. Options include holders for wooden and glass panels, wire grippers, joint holders and everything else you need to present your products in the best possible way.

Be creative with your shop fittings

Designers who want to create something original use the Arakawa wire system with appropriate holders for shop interior design, visual merchandising and shop fitting.

This gives you the flexibility to stretch and attach clothes rails anywhere on your sales floor via floor and ceiling mounting.

Hang wooden and glass panels securely from the ceiling to showcase your merchandise. Again, there are no limits to your creativity: With single and double-sided supports for panels, rotating supports and detachable panel holders, you have a wide range at your disposal so that every shop fitting can be customised.

The Arakawa wire system at a glance

Hanging signs and panels made easy

Whether you want to hang signs from the ceiling, wall railings or stationary fixings, Arakawa's wires and fixings have the right elements to create the perfect hanging display, whatever your installation requirements. Here, panel holders for vertical panels offer a clean, simple look, while there are rotating, two-sided holders for glass panels that allow for versatile applications. Advantageously, you do not need to drill holes in the signs and panels to hang them.

Suspending shelves with the Arakawa cable system

If you want to hang shelves from the ceiling to highlight your retail or commercial products, Arakawa's hanging display systems allow you to hang shelves with material thicknesses up to 25mm. The system is designed so that the panel supports grip the wooden or glass shelves at the edges or pass through the shelves to support them from below. With our hangers and quick release clips, you can easily customise your shelf presentation and you no longer need to attach brackets and grid systems to the wall. You can easily slide the shelf up and down at any time using the cables.

Notes on planning and assembly

check the expected load per rope and select the appropriate wire thickness. Only use 7 x 6+1 ropes.
first attach the ceiling, floor or wall mounting.
cut the rope to the appropriate length and solder the wire ends.
insert the wire into the sleeve of the wire gripper
the wire is now locked
before tensioning the wire, thread in the appropriate holders, e.g. plate holder
by pressing the sleeve against the wire gripper, the wire can be loosened again and adjusted optimally
make sure that the wire is tensioned appropriately.

How do I calculate the load value for stainless steel wires?

The following load values per wire apply to stock lengths and ready-made wire lengths, which you should not exceed:

Rope diameter	Load value in kg
1,0	30
2,0	50
2,5	70
3,0	90
