These vertical coat racks are an addition to the existing Coatrack by the Meter system designed by Maarten Baptist. Besides the well-known horizontal version, he designed a standing coat rack and a vertical version for on the wall, both are also very suitable for smaller (living) spaces.
The freestanding coatrack has four legs (two are welded to the stand, two are easily attached with bolts) and hooks from top to bottom. This allows both adults and children to easily hang their coats on it. With the addition of a mirror and a small shelf to the wall coatracks, you can quickly check your hair or touch up your makeup before heading out the door, or leave your keys and accessories in a permanent place when you get home.
The Coatrack by the Meter system is a nod to the Shakers' wall coat racks, which ran the length of the wall. The coat racks are available in different lengths that you can connect together as you see fit, but they can also be a beautiful element on your wall on their own. In this way you can create playful lines on your wall, from left to right, even around the corner, and now also from top to bottom. In this way you can make your coat rack and hallway even more fun and functional.
The Coatrack by the Meter was designed by Maarten Baptist. After the success of the horizontal version, Maarten decided it was time for a vertical, freestanding coatrack.
Based on the same principle, he developed a formal language in which cutouts can be lasered from the corner pieces of a metal tube, creating coat hooks organically, again with minimal waste.
