Bench Rack

Bench Rack is a great answer by Vik & Fougere to the lack of closet and storage space in the average apartment. It will make its debut at the IDS Prototype Exhibit in Toronto next week.

Bench Rack is made of powder coated steel tube and a single piece of solid elm. Elm gives the product an interesting finish and a warm feeling.

Visually, the continuation of the leg into the hanging bar makes the design very clean without anything unnecessary.

    Same problem as a prior featured clothes rack: nothing stops hangers from sliding over the end of the rack.

    I agree with ctd. There would have to be a very limited amount of hangers on there otherwise they’d slide off. I think this style of wardrobe looks appealing, but I’ve never thought they worked from a practical ‘everyday-living’ perspective.

    Completely agree, a good point to improve. I think It could be useful in some cases as a second wardrobe. Thank you for your comments!

    again a good example that minimalism often excludes practicability..

    About the stops at the end of the rack, nothing two screws can’t fix you know :)
