Many things were thought about in the design process of this object, function, form, style, what a home is?
The visual style of this object gets negated when it serves its most functional purpose. The object becomes most visible when, perhaps there is know one around to notice.

The simple lines display curves that are recognizable and at the same time completely abstract. Its possible that modern style is a cacophony of technology and creativity being merged in a way that can come out both muddy and confusing as per a style. Muddy Coat Rack tries to illustrate that!

There are set dimensions where joints of the racks structure come together. Other than those points the rack can be completely and constantly redesigned. If you had enough silhouettes or patterns it would lessen the chance of any two people having the same design. The rack itself is held together by exact tolerances and a series of set screws which are milled and tapped into the plastic which would easily hold a coarse machine Alan head set screw. No Glue!. Polyethylene can be laser-cut, water-jet or CNC milled. Being made from polyethylene affords being able to choose high recycled material content. As well as, no finish no stain paint, or sealant.

This product could last forever or turn into something else, literally!

Polyethylene 1/4, 1/2, 5/8 D 76inx35inx35in
