Zen & Lola
Beat Glässer runs the aptly named Glässer design firm in Zurich, Switzerland. Two pieces in his current design portfolio are truly minimalist: coat rack Zen and desk Lola.
Both designs are based on an idea that is as simple as it is brilliant: Glässer recognized that he could reduce the number of legs to two, by leaning the furniture to the wall. The result is of a beautiful elegance.
All of Glässer’s designs are manufactured by Mox.

Hi Eric,
Yes, we have found that other parties have developed similar concepts. For instance, Jonas & Jonas offer us the Wallflower series: same leaning principle, but with slightly more features added.
Just ran into Peter van de Water’s similar coat rack, ‘Lean On‘.
