This was posted way back in the early days, but as the original retailer no longer carries it and it's cold weather season, an update was needed.

Wave Hanger, designed by Nanni Holén, adorns both halls and bedrooms. Place the hanger wherever you want your clothes, bags, and robes. Your children's hangers can even be under yours. Adjust the length by attaching as many Wave Hangers to each other as you like. To achieve even more interesting effects, use light to create waving shadows from the hanger.

2-pack (17.7" x 7.9") Total of 35.5 inches when mounted side by side
Black or White.

A very simple alternative to the many hooks and boxes out there. I wonder if the magnet is strong enough to toss your keys at it and have them stick...if so, it'd be a neat trick.

This magnetic key holder by Arik Levy can be mounted to the wall right near your door so you never misplace your keys again! Genius.

Dimensions: 3"w x 6.25"h x 1.5"d
$40.00, Buy it here.

This would look excellent anywhere you need more space for coats or clothes, and given that it is now on sale for $150 instead of $275, you'd have to be crazy (or broke) to pass it up.

Great for small spaces and instant additional storage, this coat rack can be leaned against any wall for an eye-catching, efficient, and easily transportable solution for hanging coats and clothes. Simple assembly required; easily disassembles for storage. Made of brushed aluminum and walnut.

Size: Assembled: 59.5h x 31.5w x 12"d

Maybe it's not the best season to highlight a coat rack, but it's pretty special. Might be perfect for the closet until your entryway needs it?

While I wouldn't necessarily call this coat hanger "hilarious", I would call it kind of clever.

"Never suffer through the pain of losing (or misplacing) your beloved coat, hat or sweater again, simply hang it up on this hilarious life line coat rack. Whether you're a doctor, nurse or Grey's Anatomy junkie, this clever coat rack is sure to make everyone laugh (and that's good for the heart). Red enamel on steel rod. Made in China."

An altogether new take on the trophy trend...

"The concept is quite obvious, traditional animal trophies are a pretty ridiculous thing, so Phil's hangers turns the trophy notion on its head, well actually on its butt... Whichever animal you choose, it always comes in a set of 2 - with every front bit you will get the rear as well. They are made out of poly resin and are 7 cm wide and 11 cm high (2.75" x 3.5") and extend out roughly 3" or 8 cm."

With modern items usually leaning towards the polished and lacquered look, something like these wood rings and hooks would be a natural contrast (either in a room or upon the body).

Rings, $30 ea.:"The finger rings are created from hardwood tree branches and are finished with marine-grade polyurethane to make them water resistant and more durable...Because the rings are handcrafted, the sizes are approximate, but we can come pretty close."

Hooks, $30 ea.:"Handcrafted from Maple, Beech or Birch or other hardwoods grown in Jacksonville, Vermont, these Timber products are individually unique. The wood is cut, naturally dried for 24 months and then crafted into its final shape. No two pieces are exactly alike, but the size of most of these Timber items can be customized to fit your particular needs."
