I love Nick Leigh’s coat hook which he sold at the designboom mart at 100%design Tokyo :

The wooden hooks are still my hands-down favorite.

Has anyone seen a coat hook that’s attached to a little oval mirror? I remember seeing this about 6 months ago somewhere, but I can’ t remember where…now that I want to get one of course.

I love seeing the variety of ideas that are all just a variation on an age-old theme.

Speaking about deer shaped hooks.. I love the Dear Deer by Jorine Oosterhoff, a Dutch designer. So cute! You can choose from seven different colors, I especially like the red en bronze ones.

I think the Antler hooks are a bit much. All of these in fact sort of are too loud for coat hooks, for my taste. I like them to be a bit subtler. But nice round-up, thanks!

So many cute coat racks!

I saw one in blueprint, *I think* that was a wall decal of an old fashioned coat rack with a simple hook you attach to the wall, like this:

Great round up Grace, thanks!

Cute! I might use the anthropologie one for hanging necklaces. Mine are terribly disorganized.

I love coat racks, and the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen is the Ono coat rack. It looks like a piece of sculpture mounted on the wall. Ona’s gentle curves don’t distort the shape of any piece of clothing you might hang on it; in great contrast to most racks. It is a perfect example of form and function, beautifully executed. Design Within Reach used to carry it; I’m sorry they no longer do, but it is available from vestigio.com. You can see it here: www.vestigio.com/9.php?area=5&div=1&id=9

Great post. The coat rack is the under the radar household accessory. Maybe next fall when it gets to be coat season again, you can post an update. ? …I also happen to think these coat racks are pretty cool–> from Topdeq: http://www.topdeq.com/topdeq/product.do?catid=us_24&prodid=pp_stretto

I contacted Toda as I went gaga over the Toda Coat rack! I thought it would also make a fabulous guest towel hanger. But I figured if I had to ask the price it was most likely going to be over my budget. They said that they are just about to go into production, instead of just doing them custom, and would be able to price them much less expensively [no amount mentioned] contact them mid-April for updates on that at: jhoward@notchdesign.com or go to the website as linked below the picture.
