Sticks

What at first glance appears to be a bonfire in the making is actually Sticks, a sculptural coat rack by designer Michael Schwebius. The delicate beauty, use of natural materials, and unusual design of Sticks stand in stark contrast to the crowded marketplace of unimaginative, wrought iron coat trees and stands. Sticks is comprised of varying lengths of slim wood beams—some reaching all the way up from the floor while others are placed chaotically at unexpected angles and heights— all of which seem suspended in time and motion. Each beam features an angled inward cut notch just below the top, which creates a hook for coat hangers, purse straps, and more. Available in natural finish oak or walnut, or painted wood in black or white, Sticks makes the perfect addition to entryways, personal offices, or really anywhere a designer wants visual intrigue and users need ample hanging storage.
