Y-rack the Modular Coat Rack System

Designers Hsin-Chun Wang and Ye Liu of HCWD Studio in New York are launching a new modular coat rack design inspired by a most humble but useful object of utility: the traditional Taiwanese outdoor clothing dryer rack. Their update is noticeably more refined, with the option to extend the rack with the addition of Y-shape modules that branch upward and outward.
