Pin Coat

The Design

The principle of the clothes rack / coat stand Pin Coat is as exceptional as simple: wooden poles stuck loosely in a solid, cast cement base. The clothes can either be hung loosely over the rod ends or hangers can be inserted into the hook-shaped ends of the rods. Depending on requirements, the number of rods can be varied and because the rods of Moormann's Pin Coat are available in 3 different lengths can be adapted to fit everything from young childrens jackets to long trench coats. In addition, the Pin Coat can be extended by a range of multifunctional accessories. Thus, the Pin Coat can become the Pin Coat Pin Light with lights at the end of the rods, while Pin Coat Pin Brolly offers a refined extension for storage of umbrellas, and with the Pin Coat Pin Flag one has space for your notes and reminders. Consequently with Pin Coat from Moormann one has a modular, completely functional clothes hanging system with sculptural charm and minimalist design.
