Vertical Coatrack by the Meter with Shelf | 50 cm Black | Vij5

This is the vertical version of Coatrack by the Meter, the wall coat rack by Maarten Baptist for the Dutch design label Vij5. The same powder-coated steel tube of 4 × 4 cm, but upright on the wall: 50 cm high, with three hooks one above the other and a shelf at the top in the same steel. That shelf does not rest on the rack, it is fixed to it: the whole thing is one piece. This version is black.

For the narrow spot

Not every wall has half a metre of width to spare. Beside a door, between two frames or in a narrow hallway, vertical is often the only size that fits. The three hooks sit one above the other instead of side by side, so you hang just as much on it — only in height. The fixed shelf at the top uses the space that would otherwise stay empty: a place for keys and the post, at eye level rather than underneath your coats.

Part of the system

The vertical version combines with everything from the horizontal range. The connecting plates line it up with a rack of 20, 50 or 100 cm, the corner piece turns the line through 90 degrees, and the extension pieces without hooks give you a quiet stretch between the hooks. On its own on the wall it works just as well. For inspiration and an overview of all the parts, see the overview page for Coatrack by the Meter.

Made in the Eindhoven region

The tubes are laser-cut industrially, which leaves little waste; the hooks are bent by hand and the powder coating is done by a company near Eindhoven. The packaging is Dutch recycled cardboard.
