This Gumball coat stand, available at Oliver Bonas takes more than a touch of inspiration from Charles and Ray Eames' Hang-It-All.
Hang-It-All was intended to bring fun to an everyday object – in that case livening up a wall-mounted coat rack with powdered white steel, topped off with brightly coloured balls. This design takes the white of the Eames' number, includes the coloured balls and plays on the sense of fun but applies them all to the shape of a more traditional free-standing coat stand.
Whether you prefer the design or not, there's no denying the price difference. The Hang-It-All will set you back about £170 while this stand costs £45.
