Herman Miller's Select line has recently reinterpreted the Hang-It-All, the iconic coat rack by Charles and Ray Eames. The Eameses originally designed the Hang-It-All in 1953 for children's rooms, with brightly-painted maple spheres for the knobs; the welded wire frame was produced using mass production techniques they'd perfected while working on their wire table and chair legs.
The update renders the HIA modern with solid walnut balls and a powder-coated black frame. The 14 knobs total mean one unit should be enough for the average singleton or couple's entryway hanging needs, but for a cooler visual effect, families or offices that have the wall space can gang up a bunch of 'em in a row.
