Description
Our Mallen coat rack turns a strip of wall into a small safari. A giraffe, a snake curled over an elephant, a zebra and a parrot riding on a lion stand in a row along a plywood rail, with a half-round panel rising behind them like a low sun. Four tapered pegs are fitted into the animals' bodies, giving somewhere to hang a coat, a bag or a sun hat. It is made of plywood and iron, measures 40cm long, 6cm wide and 20cm tall, and weighs 0.332KG, so it is a light, slim piece that fits beside a door or above a small chest of drawers without crowding the wall.
This is a rack for a child's bedroom, nursery or playroom, where it gives a small person's coat, cardigan, school bag or dressing-up cape a place of its own. A little cardigan on a hanger hangs neatly from one peg, and the animal figures make putting things away feel more like a game than a chore. It works just as well in a family hallway as the spot where the children's things go, keeping their coats apart from the grown-ups' hooks. Because it is multicoloured, it sits happily with warm wood, woven baskets and painted walls alike, and it makes a cheerful gift for a new nursery.
The animals and the rail are cut from plywood and finished in water based paint, which gives the figures a soft, matt look, and the layered edges of the plywood show along the cut outlines. It is fixed to the wall, and the maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can see how it goes up before you start. For styling, hang it at a height your child can reach, leave a little space either side so the giraffe and the parrot are not crowded, and let one favourite coat or bag stay on show.
