Modular Organization. After our Top 10: Modern Free-Standing Coat Racks post last week, we've refocused our coat rack search to more space-saving wall-mounted options like the UtiliTILE from Thout Design. Different tiles are responsible for different function from a row of hooks to key and shoe storage...
tiles can be customized by function and number of tiles to suit any space. Every tile features folding hardware for a flat wall when storage is not in use.
Tiles measure 16x16 and are thick. Available in White Lacquer, White Oak and American Walnut. Contact Patrick at Thout Design to purchase. Via NotCot.org and AT:SF.

Love the idea!!! I think this would be the perfect solution to my entry, but i don't see prices on the Thout Design site...wish they were just straightforward with listing the costs of the different tiles....when I don't see a price, I tend to assume it is out of reach. (Like if you have to ask, then it is too expensive)

I'm so smitten, I don't care how much UtiliTILEs cost; I'm in.
And I'm more of an Alberto Pinto girl, too.
Just brilliant...

Your assumption was right polkadot! I think they're brilliant, but a bit pricey.
Keyed: $225
Hooked: $200
Blank: $90
Etched Blank (with words): $160
Prices are in USD, now that the Loonie is worth about the same as the US Dollar.
I was also informed that extra strength Velcro is used to "mount" these onto the walls.

Love them, but a little pricey - especially considering they want you to use velcro. With the way we pile coats on our coat hooks, I can see this peeling right off the wall.
