The coat rack by Annabelle Nichols looks like something that belongs in the portfolio of Nendo, or some other modern Japanese design studio. Instead, it was designed by a native New Zealander with a deep appreciation of minimalist aesthetics and practical functions.
In a way, the coat rack by Annabelle Nichols is much more than a coat rack. It is a whole storage unit made for the front entrance of a home. The three wooden sticks that are meant for outerwear are slotted into a simultaneous white table and foot rack. The two tiered surface even has a gap that acts as a sort of magazine rack. Overall, every surface of the unit is very useful.
