Laser-cut walnut to hang a coat on

UTE coat standI am such a sucker for a great hat/coat stand and The Complete Coat Stand, by UTE, gets full points.
UTE are an Australian company making 'products that work' and this is a perfect example. It is made from six laser-cut components from walnut, elegantly fitted together.

Eames style hat stand

Inspired by Apartment Therapy's coat rack story I thought I would share my hat stand, which is one of my favourite pieces. I had wanted one for ages but just couldn't find something suitably mid-century. I found plenty of antique ones and many contemporary ones but I just didn't think they would work.
Eventually I stumbled on this Eames style hat stand for only $30 at an antique stall at the Scarborough markets. It holds all my favourite hats, coat, umbrella and satchel perfectly positioned and ready to go on the way out the door.
