# Contemporary Antler Coatracks The U-Turn Branches into Pivoting Points for Efficient Storage By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uturn-3-hook References: [swiss-miss](http://www.swiss-miss.com/2014/02/u-turn-3-hook.html) & [umbra](http://www.umbra.com/ustore/product/u-turn-3-hook.store) There are several features that make the U-Turn 3 Hook and 5 Hook so appealing. First of all, one can appreciate the delightful look of the perfect curves, the symmetry and the juxtaposed materials that comprise the [modern foyer fixture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-collection). Secondly, you may notice that the [wooden ends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger) of the object can be angled outwards when required. Mount the W-shaped metal component on your wall and David Quan's design maintains a shallow profile to cater to even the tightest of spaces. When you would like to hang up a jacket or a scarf on the U-Turn 3 Hook, just grasp one of the timber top ends of the rack and swivel it into an outward-pointing position. This product is both visually pleasing and practical. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Coatracks with Pivoting Design:** The U-Turn Coatracks feature a unique pivoting design for elegant and efficient storage. - **Minimalist Foyer Fixtures:** David Quan's U-Turn Coatracks offer a visually pleasing and functional addition to any modern foyer. - **Hybrid Materials in Furniture Design:** The juxtaposition of wood and metal in the U-Turn Coatracks creates a new trend in materials for furniture design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The U-Turn Coatracks showcase an opportunity to innovate in the furniture design industry with unique, efficient, and visually pleasing products. - **Interior Design:** With a minimalist aesthetic and practical design, the U-Turn Coatracks offer a new solution for interior designers and decorators. - **Home Decor Retail:** Retailers in the home decor industry can incorporate the U-Turn Coatracks in their inventories to offer an innovative and unique product to customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [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) - [Wall-Mounted Wall Rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto.md) - [Wall Art Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justin-case.md) - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Wall-Mounted Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/umbrella-1.md) - [Smiley Clothing Wall Hooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsahook.md) - [Chinese Character-Shaped Coat Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-coat-rack.md) - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.md)
