The "recontextualization of familiar things" drives Nick Fraser's design. We came across the powder-coated copper pipes and brass fittings of Fraser's handsome hook at the 100% Design show at Earl's Court.
Cabinets and drawers can very quickly become cluttered piles of pots and pans, and finding the right one to use for dinner is like a precarious game of culinary Jenga. Enter this clever pot rack, a ceiling-and-wall-attached steel unit from Portland-based studio Merkled. The spindly wires are, in fact, super study pieces of salvaged steel from a local company, powder-coated and strong enough to handle your collection of Le Creuset.
Well isn't this clever! Rather than toss your coat on the sofa and mail on the coffee table, here's an all-purpose rack that will take care of all your in-and-out-the-door accoutrement. Made from reclaimed Douglas Fir, it could take the place of a hallway console, freeing up space and clearing up clutter.
We're edging square into coat season and those jackets are going to start piling up, carelessly tossed over sofas, easy chairs, and coffee tables. This powder coated steel coat rack is a three-legged super structure that will look sleek and understated by the front door, while easily keeping your warm clothes in order.
