"Picture yourself arriving home on a rainy afternoon. You reach for your coat rack to hang up your wet jacket, but instead of leaving it behind, you grab one of its branches and head back out the door. That branch? It's now your walking stick. Welcome to Cesare Miozzi's brilliantly weird world, where furniture refuses to stay put. The Walking Coat Rack recently won the Ideas for Business Call #4, a design competition that challenges creators to reimagine everyday objects."
"Miozzi, a young Italian designer, started with a simple observation: coat racks are boring. They stand there in your entryway, silently judging you for that jacket you draped over the chair instead. They're functional, sure, but they're about as exciting as watching paint dry. Yet we can't escape them because we've been hanging our clothes on hooks since Ancient Rome, when tunics and togas needed somewhere to rest."
Cesare Miozzi designed a coat rack that converts into walking sticks and won the Ideas for Business Call #4. The design takes inspiration from trees, featuring a tubular trunk-like structure with three large branches emerging from a hollow top. Each branch holds coats when the rack stands and detaches to serve as a walking stick when needed. A circular ring at the base represents roots and anchors the piece. A ring at the top creates a pocket emptier for keys, coins, and small items. The concept adds portability and personality to an otherwise mundane entryway fixture.
