Servus

In search of a minimal, lightweight yet practical wardrobe, I recently came across German furniture designer Florian Saul‘s elegant clothing rack, Servus (Latin for servant).

The wardrobe, with its simple and reduced form, leans against a wall, supported by two small rubber feet. To accommodate small items such as gloves and scarves, there is a removable leather bag attached to the frame. If additional space is required, two frames can be combined. The cross-connection could subsequently provide space for conventional hangers.

Although there are many similar concepts available and indeed several have previously been featured on Minimalissimo, Servus, I feel, would serve me well.

Caccia Grossa Bianco

Milan based contemporary design manufacturer Lettera G, who work closely with a number of Italian designers, have produced this attractive and minimalist collection of animal wall-mounted clothing racks – Caccia Grossa Bianco (Big White Game). We are assured no animals were harmed in the production of this collection.

The scientific nomenclature of each animal is printed in Latin on its white stainless steel face. The collection includes a horse, rabbit, parrot, deer and zebra.

One for the young hearted, animal loving minimalist.

Poles Apart

London Metropolitan University graduate Adrian Bergman has designed Poles Apart – a modular retail display system. Each unit is assembled using rubber o-rings as its only additional fastenings. The units are free from any glue and are constructed from ash and plywood.

The components that comprise each unit can be customised in a variety of formations to suit a particular environment.

Although questions may be raised on the stability of the rubber o-rings, the simple assembly and modulation would prove quite beneficial for retail displays.

Mr. T

Darmstadt based industrial design duo Marcel Kieser and Christof Spath of Kieser Spath have created a simple and intelligent clothing rail concept in Mr. T. The rail consists of two wooden T-shaped strips and a metal rod sitting between them.

Featured at this year’s DMY International Design Festival in Berlin, the freestanding Mr. T is available in two different sizes, and when not in use, the item can be disassembled and quite intelligently stored flat even in moderately small closets.

Simple and adaptable storage. Perfect for any small space. I pity the fool who disagrees. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

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.

Axis

South Korean designer Ramei Keum created Axis, a stand hanger made in stainless steel.

Interestingly, the side of the frame mimics the shape of the hangers. As a result, it allows you to hang your coat on the frame just as good as on the hangers it supports. How smart!

Axis is still a prototype, looking for a manufacturer.
