# Box-Cradling Coatracks The Stan Coat Stand Invites You to Suspend and Stash a Variety of Items By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-coat-stand References: [leibal](http://leibal.com/furniture/stan/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/Stan-coat-stand-for-Formabilio/8431079) The Stan Coat Stand caters to the diverse collection of objects that you may want to set down as soon as you've come in your door. Take your jacket off and hang it up, drop your keys into a tray and deposit your shoes in a bin. This delightful system encourages you to keep your foyer tidy. Designed by Giancarlo Cutello, the [open closet alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto) comprises a cluster of five [wooden poles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treevive) that are planted into an elevated timber base. A [small rectilinear dish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-concept) floats around the middle of each post and a larger tub rests at the foot of the Stan Coat Stand. The whimsical exposed wardrobe is asymmetrical and multifarious, yet it manages a lovely minimalist quality that's capable of clarifying and counterbalancing clutter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multi-function Furniture:** Designing furniture that can serve multiple purposes and accommodate various items can improve home organization and reduce clutter. - **Asymmetrical Aesthetics:** Incorporating asymmetrical designs in furniture can add a unique and whimsical touch to home decor. - **Natural Materials:** Using sustainable and natural materials, such as wood, in furniture design can appeal to eco-conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Furniture:** Furniture companies can leverage multi-function and eco-friendly design to create unique and functional pieces for the home. - **Home Decor:** Home decor companies can incorporate asymmetrical designs and natural materials in their product offerings to appeal to consumers looking for a unique and sustainable aesthetic. - **Organization:** Companies specializing in home organization can partner with furniture companies to offer innovative storage solutions like coatracks with trays and bins to keep entryways tidy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tripod-Like Garment Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-coat-rack.md) - [Minimal Gridded Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grid.md) - [Wall Art Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-case.md) - [Transforming Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-1.md) - [Wall-Mounted Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umbrella-1.md) - [Branch-Like Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aghsan.md) - [Playful Monkey-Inspired Coat Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-coat-stand.md) - [Artful Sculptural Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inbetween-umbrella.md) - [Stylish Multi-Use Entryway Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/entryway-shoe-rack.md)
