Design: Charles & Ray Eames, 1953
Concept: The Hang It All coat rack was designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1965 and was originally intended for children's clothing, but due to the colorful palette and playful design, it appealed equally to adults. The 14 wooden balls can hold a large amount of clothes, towels or accessories and give the coat rack a lively charm for the hallway or children's room. The Hang It All coat rack is available in different colors and material combinations, so there is something for every interior.
About the designers: Charles Ormond Eames Jr. (1907-1978) and Bernice Alexandra "Ray" Eames, née Kaiser, (1912-1988) were American designers. With backgrounds in industrial furniture design (Charles) and art (Ray), they met in 1940 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit. In 1941 they married and began experimenting with three-dimensional molded plywood, with the goal of producing affordable and comfortable chairs. Due to World War II, their experimental work was interrupted and only resumed in 1946, when they presented an exhibition of their furniture designs at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. After that, things took off. They entered into an agreement with The Herman Miller Company, which began producing their furniture. In 1957, Vitra entered into a licensing agreement with Herman Miller and began producing Charles and Ray Eames designs for Europe and the Middle East. It was the starting point for Vitra's furniture production, which is why the Eames couple has had a large influence on Vitra as a design company, and their values and goals even permeate Vitra to this day.
