We've blogged these Dots Wood Coat Hooks by Tveit & Tornoe before, but after seeing them LIVE at Matter last week, we wanted to bring them back for another perusal.....
Made out of solid oak, the pegs come in a set of 5, with varying sizes. The assembly above is two sets combined. This is such a beautiful and simple solution to the old coats in the hall problem. It's also inspirational for any DIY'er out there who has the resources to make something like this on their own.

With a bunch of recycled/vintage dresser knobs, this could be really interesting!
I love the console table (or what looks like one) underneath!
This almost has the look of a piece of wall sculpture. It seems a shame to cover it by hanging coats on it! : )
My coworker does something very similar with Ikea Grundtal knobs: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30061247
how do you attach them to the wall?
They don't stick out far enough to really let you hand a winter coat--maybe a cute tiny shoulder bag.
And if this looks like sculpture, a trip to MOCA would help.
Wow. $180.00. Hahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And a trip to the local House of Knobs would help too.

I know an unfinished wood knob when I see one.
OMG, that mattermatters site also sells a wood crate. For $220.00. It's a wood crate.
Their wood crate comes with a book, called "The Crate Picture Book".

This is one site, wholesale prices, wood items, including various forms of crates and boxes:

I have some wine crates with the sliding lids that are EXCELLENT storage, very sturdy. And I don't mind if it says "Beringer" on the side. My dad had those, and he also stained them, I guess. It's a big box, not the ones for a single bottle. I think the box could hold 10 bottles??? No idea.
ebay has wine crates (the lids are sometimes used for display):

Here's one with a sliding lid:

I figure if you drink wine already, and plan on having people over this summer, buy the crate of wine of a kind you like. And you get the handy box as a bonus.
I had one wood crate of some kind that had no lid, so I flipped it on it's side and it serves the purpose of holding books by my bed.
That might sound cheesy to some people, but not nearly as silly as paying $220.00 for an empty box.
Very cute and practical. Perhaps door knobs could hold larger items?
I just made a version of this myself. I ordered different sizes of knobs, painted them white, and got those screw things that have threads at both ends. The only problem is that mine don't come off the wall very far, so some stuff doesn't hang well.
Seriously $180!!! When you could just go to a home goods and buy wood knobs for dollars and install with anchored screws costing you little over $10?
If you want a similar look, but a more substantial piece of hardware for $100 less, try this bronze coat rack from Crate & Barrel:
