# Elegant Espalier Racks The Willow Coat Hanger is a Trellish Designed for Interior Organization By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-01-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willow-coat-hanger References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2012/01/Willow.html) & [faerid](http://www.faerid.com/) Resembling the sort of object you pin against your garden wall, the Willow Coat Hanger does a fine job of controlling the tangle of your possessions in much the same way that a trellis does with plants. From Iceland's Faerid studio, Herborg Ingvarsdóttir, Karin Eriksson and Thorunn Hannesdottir produced this totally charming [coat rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multi-hanger) based on inspiration from [nature's forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hayashi-cabinet) and fairy tales. The pretty latticed pattern enhances the conventional shape of the typical coat hanger, fanning the shoulder-supporting fins out across the bottom like fairy wings. A lovely tracery pattern is formed with the delicately cut and white-painted [Nordic birch plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charity-hanger), creating a cluster of irregular openings. The Willow Coat Hanger is best flaunted from a clothes peg on the wall, providing the perfect place to sling scarves and jewelry for storage and display. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Nature-inspired Interior Organization:** Opportunity to create interior organization products that take inspiration from natural forms and patterns. - **Fairy Tale-inspired Design:** Opportunity to incorporate whimsical and enchanting elements into design aesthetics. - **Functional Decorative Storage Solutions:** Opportunity to combine functionality and aesthetics in storage solutions for home decor. ### Where This Applies - **Home Organization:** Opportunity for companies in the home organization industry to develop innovative storage products. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for interior designers to incorporate nature-inspired and fairy tale-inspired designs in their projects. - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor businesses to offer functional and decorative storage solutions inspired by natural and fairy tale aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quirky Structural Clothes Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hang-we.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) - [Chinese Character-Shaped Coat Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resting-coat-rack.md) - [Wall-Mounted Wall Rack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velto.md) - [Sporty Climbing-Inspired Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-hanger.md) - [Modular Minimal Wardrobe Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koi-cloths.md) - [Open-Concept Clothing Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhutte-clothes-hanger-rack.md) - [Envelope-Style Shoe Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoe-storage-rack.md)
