Designed by Eduardo Alessi, the piece is assembled from a few pieces of wood and simply leaned against the wall to serve as an effective hatrack. A Y-shaped base gives the basic contraption some stability, especially when it's being supported by an architectural element on one side. Three horizontal spacer segments are installed into this pedestal, creating a convenient place to stash [two or three pairs of shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rotating-shoe-rack). A trio of [large clothes hooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-hanger) accommodates the arrangement of several garments, including bags and accessories.
