Looking at a full rack, you may not be able to discern the handy hanging fobs that make up this clever product. The design is centred on the counterbalanced idea that the pegs can make up part of the keychain, rather than being fixed components on which to suspend them.
Ben Cramp of Jam Furniture has taken advantage of beautiful reclaimed wood material once again to make this simple-looking panel of hooks without hooks. Inside the three drilled holes are brass sleeves into which you insert the three accompanying hanging fobs. Easily pull your keychain out of an opening to retrieve it on your way out, and plug it back in without effort when you return home. This product is a well-crafted and subtly more practical modification to a standard key rack.
