The Elements coat rack by Ariake is like a functional piece of art that, due to the light structure, does not take up a lot of space in even smaller entryways. Made up of different-sized pieces of wood pointing in different directions at different heights, the coat rack has a varying look depending on how you position it in your home. Elements was designed by Shin Azumi.
