Issue 40 · North by Northwest · October 2, 2012

This week I'll be sharing some finds from London Design Week; first up: coat racks inspired by trees, spotted at Tent London and Design Junction.

Above: The "Brish" Hat Stand by Sebastian Cox is adjustable. When an object is placed on a hook, the weight of the item causes the hook to grip to the stem, securing the hat or jacket at a particular chosen height.

Above: Sebastian Cox has fashioned a coat stand from locally coppiced hazel, which is harvested by hand. Coppicing is a woodland management method that provides a renewable supply of wood.
