# Skeletal Closets DINO Clothes Rack By Elsa Blaine | Published 2008-09-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skeleton-inspired-closets-dino-clothes-rack References: [yatzer](http://www.yatzer.com/postDetails.php?post=1228) & [kayiwa.fi](http://www.kayiwa.fi/) The DINO clothes rack is a stunningly sculptural yet practical way to hang your coats and shirts. When aligned in one configuration, the sleek white hangers flow in a wave-like pattern forming what resembles an abstract rib cage. It’s likely that dinosaur bones were the basis of the relic-inspired name. Arranging the [modern hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger) in an alternating formation makes the hangers appear somewhat musical in a sense. I’m not sure if they remind me of piano foot pedals or that they look a little like sheet music. The DINO rack was designed by [Helsinki](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helsinki-design-and-architecture-museum)’s [University of Art and Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinosaur-footprints) graduate Lincoln Kayiwa. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sculptural Storage Solutions:** The DINO clothes rack exemplifies the trend of incorporating artistic elements into functional storage designs. - **Abstract Design Influences:** The wave-like pattern of the DINO clothes rack reflects the trend of using abstract forms and shapes in product design. - **Artistic-inspired Home Accessories:** The DINO clothes rack caters to the trend of adding artistic touches to everyday home essentials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture and Home Decor:** The DINO clothes rack presents an opportunity for the furniture industry to create innovative and visually appealing storage solutions. - **Interior Design:** The DINO clothes rack offers a chance for interior designers to incorporate artistic and sculptural elements into their projects. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The DINO clothes rack provides a unique and visually striking way to display and organize clothing, presenting an opportunity for the fashion industry to explore creative retail displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md) - [Tripod-Like Garment Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-coat-rack.md) - [Geometrically Shaped Hanger Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger.md) - [Interactive Fossil-Inspired Costumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-dinosaur-costume.md) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md) - [Chinese Character-Shaped Coat Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-coat-rack.md) - [Storage-Equipped Restaurant Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rack-chair.md) - [Expanding Garment Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-hanger.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md)
