The Monkey Coat Stand—a piece created by designer Jaime Hayon who is known for his daringly whimsical home decor objects—was recently debuted. This release, which Hayon designed for BD Barcelona, comes after the immense success of the Monkey Table.
The design of the Monkey Coat Stand is rather charismatic and eye-catching. The coat stand consists of a pole that is held by a monkey at the bottom. There are four bananas at the top where individuals can hang their outerwear. The capsule also features ultra-playful banana hangers that can be seamlessly mounted onto the wall.
The popularity that the monkey collection is enjoying speaks to a deeper consumer desire for design-forward home decor objects that are cheeky, unique, and extremely playful.
