With the coat stand RAKKU, Japanese for rack, designer Kazushige Miyake has created a unique symbiosis between modern geometry and timeless minimalism. The helix-like construction is just as simple as the design. Three wooden slats are almost curved into each other and are held in place by triangular metal elements. Despite the minimalist design, the functionality of this coat stand is by no means in the background. Keys or bags can be placed on a round plate. The three wooden elements provide space for jackets, scarves and hats and hangers can be attached to the metal connections as needed.
The RAKKU coat stand is available in natural or black stained oak and is delivered fully assembled.
The new Rakku coat stand is an enticing blend of style and function, designed for blomus by Kazushige Miyake. Reflecting a minimalist aesthetic, Rakku embodies the Japanese principle of maximizing utility without sacrificing elegance, and its modest size makes it perfect for small and cosy entryways as well as spacious bedrooms or halls. Meaning rack in Japanese, Rakku offers a modern take on a traditional design, turning a practical item into a stylish piece of home décor. Much like the recent trend towards open shelving, it prioritizes both aesthetics and function. A key feature is its central platform that serves as a handy tray for items like keys, wallets, or small bags, ensuring that you never leave home without these essentials. Available in FSC®-certified natural oak and black, Rakku fits seamlessly into any setting, adding a touch of sophistication without overwhelming the space.

Our wooden items are carefully crafted for indoor use and deserve to be protected from extreme temperatures and moisture. Avoid potential damage by wiping up spillages immediately to prevent warping or staining. For optimum care and a particularly long service life, we recommend the use of polishes or oils specifically formulated for the different types of wood. To support the longevity of our wooden products, they should be wiped regularly with a soft cloth moistened with lukewarm water.
