# Depressed Footprint Door Mats Stellvertreter Coat Racks Suggest Shoe Placement By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-07-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellvertreter-coat-racks References: [studio-stephanschulz](http://www.studio-stephanschulz.com/#project-303) The ideal may be to keep the front foyer clear of clutter, but the reality is that outerwear and footwear are always best kept conveniently placed. Stellvertreter Coat Racks embrace this practice of leaving your sneakers by the door, as they incorporate imprints of shoe soles into their solid concrete bases. A charming image is created that might remind one of the footprints they cast in wet blocks of the sidewalk way back when, where one model of this slingshot stand features a pair of children's feet impressed as well. Designer Stephan Schulz of these Stellvertreter Coat Racks even incorporated an upturned coarse-hair brush into the cement mat so that dirt from out of doors can be loosened from the treads of your runners. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 59% | 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 - **Depressed Footprint Door Mats:** Incorporating imprints of shoe soles into door mats creates a charming and practical solution for keeping footwear conveniently placed. - **Stellvertreter Coat Racks:** Coat racks with imprints of shoe soles offer a creative way to store outerwear and footwear in a stylish and organized manner. - **Concrete Bases:** Solid concrete bases with shoe sole imprints provide a durable and visually appealing option for coat racks and door mats. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Furnishings:** The home furnishings industry can capitalize on the trend of integrating shoe sole imprints into coat racks and door mats to create functional and aesthetically pleasing products. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can leverage the use of concrete bases with shoe sole imprints to add a unique and personalized touch to entryways and foyers. - **Footwear Accessories:** Footwear accessory brands can explore partnerships with coat rack and door mat manufacturers to create innovative products that combine storage and design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Entryway Deodorizing Stools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comodo.md) - [Minimal Shoe Rack Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-shoe-rack.md) - [Envelope-Style Shoe Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-storage-rack.md) - [Wall-Mounted Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umbrella-1.md) - [Patterned Luxe Progressive Doormats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outlier.md) - [Chinese Character-Shaped Coat Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-coat-rack.md) - [Intuitive Entryway Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-front-stool.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)
