Zyon Ice Cream Wooden Coat Rack - Multi

Our Zyon coat rack turns a bare stretch of wall into somewhere for small coats to live. It is made of beech and aluminium: a long wooden bar carrying four multicoloured hooks shaped like ice creams. There is a striped lolly, a cone topped with a scoop, a slim stacked lolly and a rounded lolly with a swirled top. The hooks are painted in soft, chalky shades, and the bar between them shows its wood grain. At 38cm long, 6.5cm wide and 13cm tall, it fits the short gap beside a door frame or above a small bench.

We would hang it in a child's bedroom, nursery or playroom. There it gives little coats, cardigans and bags a place of their own instead of the floor or the back of a chair. A small clothes hanger sits over the rack, and tote bags, net bags and drawstring bags hang from the hooks. Because the hooks look like a treat rather than a fixture, putting things away feels more like play than a chore. It also suits a dressing-up corner of a playroom, holding hats and bags ready for the next game. In a shared bedroom, each child has a hook to call their own.

The hooks carry a water based paint finish, and the whole rack weighs 0.21KG, so it is light to handle while you put it up. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, so you can read through how it goes together before you start. For styling, let the wood grain and the soft shades of the hooks do the work. Woven baskets, a rattan chair and knitted throws sit happily beside it, and a print or two on the wall above finishes the scene. Hang it where its owner can reach it, and it soon becomes the first stop after coming in from the park.
