Milan 2014: Swiss studio Big-Game will present a combined coat rack and picture ledge for Danish brand Hay during Milan’s design week (+ slideshow).

The BEAM coat rack by Big-Game allows the user to slide as many coat hooks onto the profile as needed and display thin items at the same time.

“We found it useful to be able to slide the hooks on the metal beam wherever you need them,” the designers told Dezeen. “If it is on the right or on the left side of a door for instance, or depending on what you want to hang on it.”

Solid ash hooks are cut to shape and slide directly onto the metal H-shaped profile, which attaches to the wall.

“We were always fascinated by the peg rails found in American Shaker houses,” said the designers. “Instead of hiding the mess, they somehow make it manageable.

“When we were asked to think about something that could be in entrances, we readapted this idea with a metal profile,” they added.

The aluminium profile is available in 60 or 90-centimetre lengths. Colours include grey, red and green, and extra hooks can be purchased in natural ash.

BEAM will be shown at the former printing house Spazio Ciovassino in Milan’s Brera district from 8-13 April.

Japanese designer Yasutoshi Mifune has created a clothes stand with Y-shaped coat hangers that slot into the base when not in use.

Designed by Mifune Design Studio, the HC Hanger features a single steel rod attached to a matching circular base and bent back and forth to create three horizontal bars.

The flat plywood hangers stack neatly on the base when not required and are held in place by another short rod.

“We have some situations when a clothes hanger is not necessary, for example when we only hang a scarf,” Mifune said. “I wanted to make a product with a simple shape and a common material that we can use to store hangers when a clothes hanger is not needed.”

Yasutoshi Mifune originally designed the Y Hanger in 2012 and the stand is a development of the idea.

London Design Festival 2013: new studio Brose~Fogale has launched a valet stand, dresser and set of mirrors, which were installed in an east London boutique last week (+ slideshow).

Brose~Fogale‘s Camerino Collection includes a valet stand that balances on a horizontal bar and props up against the wall.

Clothing can hang from poles that stick out from the central stem.

It also has two shelves for shoes or accessories in front and a circular mirror to one side near the top.

The dresser has legs at each end that match a circular copper-tinted mirror, which sits atop a third stand protruding through the surface of the table.

The mirror is also available in a hand-held version, shaped like a table tennis bat with a wooden handle, or as a tabletop model with a small tray at its base.

Separate trays for loose change and other small objects also feature in the range, as well as angled coat pegs with rounded ends.

All are available in natural wood or painted in bright colours.

Brose~Fogale launched the collection during this year’s London Design Festival following a successful Kickstarter campaign.

For the festival the studio installed its range in Shoreditch boutique Start London, with furniture placed in the window and around the store.

Aiming to emulate an artist’s dressing room, the pieces were populated with Start’s garments and accessories.

Other product collections launched during London Design Festival include Noble & Wood’s debut collection of crafted furniture, plus concave bookcases and chairs with hotdog-shaped legs by Joined + Jointed.

The Artist’s Dressing Room

Start London joins forces with up and coming design studio, Brose~Fogale to celebrate the London Design Festival 2013.

Brose~Fogale, a partnership between designers Matteo Fogale and Joscha Brose will take over Start’s store windows from 14 to 22 September, showcasing their new Camerino Collection and reinterpreting the idea of an artist’s dressing room with their modern, contemporary furniture.

The installation is titled “The Artist’s Dressing Room”, which translates to Camerino in Spanish and Italian. Kate Moss before a fashion show, Marilyn Monroe preparing for her next hollywood shoot – the name instantly evokes images of glamour and excitement. It is this special place, and the five minutes before the curtain gets lifted that are magical, full of concentration, excitement and glamour.

Brose~Fogale, through their inspiring and original display will be recreating this scene in the Start Womenswear boutique located at 42 – 44 Rivington Street, and allowing the public to catch a glimpse of this intimate and never before seen moment.

Taiwan designer Kenyon Yeh has developed a simple wooden coat rack that leans up against a wall or corner.

Named Ondo, Kenyon Yeh‘s product comprises 13 parts that can be assembled from flat-pack using a handful of screws.

Five arms cross the body of the rack, creating room to hang at least ten items. There’s also six rounded hooks that can facilitate hats, ties or bags.

Each part is made from oak and comes in either black or natural wood.

Other products designed by Kenyon Yeh include a two-legged side table, which also needs to lean against a wall.

See more hangers for coats and bags, including one made from two ladders.

They’re called Jpegs. No, not the image compression format. It’s a new product from Thabto designed by Jason Caswell. True to form, Jason designs yet another product that’s utterly useful with a sense of humor. The wood coat hooks have handy pegs you can clip mail, photos, and notes too. Each hook has super strong magnets if you prefer to use them on a fridge instead of wall. Get a set of 3 for £12. Love it!
