Sticks and stone won’t break my bones – they’ll hold my coat.
This here is a coat rack, designed by Lithuanian product/furniture designer Vytautas Gecas. The foot is made out of concrete, the stick are plain wood.
I love that it’s just sticks in a pot: two honest and unadorned materials, which come together to form a coat rack. No screws, no hinges, just friction and gravity.
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.
