Piano Key Coat Rack – A row of keys that turns into hooks under your thumb

The hooks sit inside a wooden bar as keys: press one down and a hook swings out. Leave them alone and the row lies flush in the frame again. Available with three, four, six or eight keys.

Why choose this coat rack?

The rack in the hallway is usually the first thing a visitor sees and usually the messiest. This one reads as a wooden panel for as long as nothing hangs on it. You pick the number of keys by the length of wall you have.

Keys as hooks: press one down and the hook comes forward
Solid wood: the grain runs through the whole bar, not a printed film over it
Folds away: unused hooks drop back into the frame
Four lengths: three to eight keys, depending on the space
Two-point mounting: stays level on the wall under load

A rack that works as a wall object on the days no coat is on it.

The four-hook version measures 32 x 15 x 3.5 cm, and the longer ones keep the same height. Mount it at eye level or a little above, and a long coat still hangs clear. Wipe the wood with a dry cloth and keep alcohol-based cleaners off it.
