Yi-Rack

Coat Rack

Back and front Left and right You and me We grew up on opposite ends of the earth But now we are connected in a line Before, we were different Now, we are one

Inspired by the coexistence of the Chinese and British in Hong Kong in 1866, as exemplified by the double-sided 1866 coin which presented Queen Victoria’s head on the front and a Chinese symbol on the reverse, the Yi-Rack coat rack elegantly integrates the different approaches to clothes hanging in British and Chinese culture.
