'Alteruse' by Armin Fischer Brings Toilet Cleansers to the Living Room
Matt Ho — July 9, 2011 — Art & Design
Among the many unusual coat racks that are on the market, the Alteruse by Armin Fischer certainly deserves some recognition.
The Alteruse by Armin Fischer takes a toilet plunger and transforms it into a coat rack. As you can see, the part that does all the dirty work acts as the end that sticks to the wall in a whimsically comical manner. Of course as much as you wish that the plunging side actually did function as an adhesive, it's actually bolted; besides. it's way more secure that way. The handle has several slits that provides supporting space for coat hooks so that you can hang your jackets up. The Alteruse is a clever, humorous design with a quirky element fit for the modern home.
