Hal Coat Rack

The Hal is a coat rack that showcases Util’s principles in a way that only such a simple piece can. HAL was designed as an unobstructive solution that could seamlessly blend in the smallest of spaces, while retaining a bold but subtle design. Made from a durable metal sheet, its curved shape allows the top to be used as a high shelf for your belongings, while the bottom has been folded and cut to physically create the rack’s hooks. Such a straightforward design results in self-explanatory uses: hang your outerwear and use it to keep your belongings at hand. A discreet and functional piece of furniture that adds a sense of lightness to your entryway. Hal was designed by Manuel Amaral Netto, 2014 co-founder of From Industrial Design. He has since worked for a variety of different brands and institutions and took over the creative direction of Util.
