The inspiration for this coat rack comes from the object itself: how people use it and their behaviors while interacting with it. When we use this freestanding coat rack, it often means we have many guests at home. As guests hang their clothes on the rack, it begins to resemble a group of people standing together. I hope that this piece conveys a sense of the distances between people—a distance that transforms strangers into friends, a distance friends traverse as they approach one another until they stand face to face. This distance is not only a physical walk but also a journey of the heart. Everyone is in a state of continuous walking.
