Industrial Pipeline Hangers

The Pipework Coat Rack Brings a Gritty Aesthetic to the Home

— August 16, 2011 — Art & Design
Pipelines are meant to be hidden, but in the case of the Pipework Coat Rack, the design defies conventional rules.

Not many individuals prefer exposed pipes in their homes. It's never a great sight, it's gritty and it affects design plans. But with the Pipework Coat Rack, these worries are gone. This wonderful item shows off the thin tubes at its finest for home decor. These pipes have been completely cleaned up and given a glossy finish. The creators have even included the nozzles just to add a touch of authenticity to the look; plus, it also acts as additional hooks for jackets. So despite the gritty images that one normally conjures up, the Pipework Coat Rack works surprisingly well and would make a welcoming addition to any home.
