There's a chill in the air, which means we all pull out the storage bins housing our fall/winter gear. And after coming in from the bitter cold, what happens to all our hapless outerwear? We need someplace to hang it, of course. One thing I love about the free-standing coat rack is that it is absolutely open to interpretation and imagination. It's possible to achieve a very wide variance in form while staying true to the original purpose. They are structural and sculptural, and add such a striking design element to your hallway/entryway. Here are some interesting ones I found, from the ultra-modern to the tastefully traditional to the wild and whimsical. I think my favorites are 13 and 31.
