Know before you buy
The precision-machined metal hooks are designed to flip down smoothly when needed and sit flush against the rack when not in use. This allows the piece to function as a sleek, sculptural wall object rather than a traditional, cluttered coat rack.
The rack is built to be quite robust and can support up to 75 pounds, making it suitable for heavy winter coats, bags, and scarves.
The Symbol Coat Rack uses a sturdy cleat system for mounting, which ensures it stays securely against the wall while maintaining a clean, minimalist look.
The Monochrome, Color, and Noir finishes offer different aesthetic profiles to suit your space. While the material remains consistent, these options allow you to choose between a neutral, high-contrast, or bold look depending on your interior style.
Yes, its slim profile—measuring only 1.75 inches deep when the hooks are closed—makes it an excellent choice for narrow hallways or compact entryways where space is at a premium.
