‘Clueless’ definitely makes it on my Top Ten Movie Lists for many reasons, one of which has to be Cher’s closet which this Merry-go-round coat rack reminds me of.

Installed last year for the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, the Merry-go-round coat rack recently won the Golden Eye at the Dutch Design Awards 2009. If only I had the means to contact designer Wieke Somers to commission one of my own!
