Chopsticks. Does anyone else see chopsticks, here? Chopsticks, once mastered, are wonderful for their versatility and storing ease. Yes, one is supposed to use chopsticks to pick up food, but, in a bind, they do wonderfully as a drink stirrer, a hair bun holder, or a "get the dog ball from behind the couch" tool.
I find the simplicity of this coat hanger appealing for the same versatility it seems to suggest; hang a coat on it, store a basketball in the center, use it as an easel, or fold it neatly away.
Here's one for clean design lines and the creative thinking they may inspire—Cheers.
