The rack is [color-coated](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reimagined-by-paul-smith) and inspired by the tube and metro station maps in Europe. The colors are bright, light and airy and a perfect way to showcase all the worldly charm of a person/office with this piece. The Fritz Hansen Coat Tree, although designed in 1971, is more relevant than ever and in fact has gone up in price over the years. Right now it rings in at 800 Euros or about $1200. No big deal perhaps for those lucky enough to even yearn for a Tube coat rack as London or Paris are notoriously expensive cities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Tube-inspired Design:** Opportunity to incorporate tube-inspired design elements into various products and furniture. - **Color-coated Accessories:** Opportunity to create color-coated accessories that add a touch of vibrancy to everyday objects. - **Retro Revival:** Opportunity to revive and modernize retro designs from the past for contemporary consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior design companies to offer unique and stylish coat racks. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion brands to create color-coated clothing and accessories. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for home decor companies to introduce tube-inspired designs in their product lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Playful Monkey-Inspired Coat Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-coat-stand.md) - [Chinese Character-Shaped Coat Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-coat-rack.md) - [Minimal Shoe Rack Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-shoe-rack.md) - [Wall-Mounted Wall Rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto.md) - [Sustainable Concise Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tube-collection.md) - [Storage-Equipped Restaurant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rack-chair.md) - [Human Form-Inspired Furniture Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tube-collection.md)
