Designer David Carrasco Barceló created the 'Hanna' hanger, which acts as a sleek silver coat rack with USB ports.
The simple design of the Hanna hanger is made to look like one piece of a tire track. The shelf-like coat rack has a solid backing, which can easily be attached to any flat wall. There is a shelving unit and a lip that curves upward towards the ceiling. The lip is divided into sections, which allows for coats to easily hang.
The shelf is designed as a safe storage area for keys, wallets and electronics. Additionally, there is a USB port to let devices change while they remain on the storage shelf. This feature will ensure that cellphones and tablets are also charged up before the user heads out the door.
