Coatracks
Dear Dwell:
I'm sick of living like a slob. Now that I've finally got a nice place to hang my hat, I need something to hang it on. Can you recommend some off-the-hook coatracks that don't look like glorified telephone poles?

There's no reason to get all hung up on the clutter in your entryway, especially with the glut of clever coatracks and hanging systems on the market. Here are a few options to prevent your foyer from going to rack and ruin.
-
Symbol Coatrack
In the summer, when coats are buried deep in closets and hooks are merely an unpleasant reminder of cold times ahead, the Symbol coatrack functions as a decor-ative piece. Simply flip the hooks down again when the mercury dips—impressive rack, indeed!- Designed by: DESU Design
- Price: $395-445
-
Coat Range
Coat Range can stand alone or in groups, expanding into tiny Tetons across your wall. Made from the Brave Space’s scrap wood, you can bring a natural landscape into your home while helping preserve one at the same time.- Designed by: Brave Space Design
- Price: $175
-
Ivy Coat Hook System
Call it a digitized creeper, or a functional version of Algue, Ivy appears to crawl across your wall guided by some obscure design-world algorithm. Whether it functions as a coatrack for those who hate coatracks, or a serviceable sculpture for those who hate coats, it’s a handsome addition to a bare wall.- Designed by: Michael Meredith
- Made by: MOS
- Price: $65
-
Wire Coatrack
As an infinitely extendable chain of hooks, Tom Dixon’s paperclip-inspired Wire coatrack provides stalwart stainless steel utility and is flexible enough to wrap around corners.- Designed by: Tom Dixon
- Price: $300.00
-
Ghost Tree
A leafless birch perched on a Saarinen base may be the spiritual symbol for austere Finnish winters, but in the flesh it feels a little flimsy. Heavy coats will likely break branches, and at this price, the bank as well.- Designed by: Erich Ginder
- Price: $1,700
-
Tree Hooked Coatrack
Structurally streamlined, Tree Hooked is inspired by flowering branches, though we think it could also pass as a subway map. Display it in any orientation, or supplement it with additional modules for seemingly boundless customization.- Designed by: Jan Habraken Alissia Melka-Teichroew
- Made by: BY:AMT
- Price: $74
-
2D3D
Suitable for the savviest alumni of the Transformers generation, 2D3D is a coatrack in disguise: a flat perforated sheet that you fold into a five-hooked wall-mount rack in five easy steps.- Made by: Blu Dot
- Price: $89
-
Victoria Butler Coatrack
The deceptive disarray of this shiny rack is anything but random. Careful composition of 19 lacquered dowels provides multiple pegs for the clothes you cast off as you stroll through the apartment door: No slicker will slip; no hoodie will fall to the floor. Should you need to shed your chapeau, Victoria Butler’s puzzle of pick-up sticks plays sturdy host to cap and coat.- Designed by: Peter Ash Hlynur Atlason
