The Merry-Go-Round Coat Rack

Described as a "spatial ballet for coats," the Merry-Go-Round can be found at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, the Dutch port's History of Art museum.

It was designed by Studio Wieke Somers, the Merry-go-round is attendant free. It works via a hook and pulley system – whereby the visitors to the museum simply hang their coats on a hanger and use a pulley in the middle to hoist it up into the air.



Entrance to the Coat-Room.

The coat can then be kept safe with the use of a lock and key.
Via.

  1. Hi Gen! Hope you are well and that you are having a lovely easter. Very funny and innovative idea with the mery-go-round coat rack. I just had a crazy thought, what if the food got served from the ceiling. Like a sushi train but from the ceiling. And then you pull it down to the table?
