Did you notice those gorgeous wood towel bars in the Margaret Esherick House yesterday? These are surely Louis Kahn custom, but they led us to look for an off-the-shelf version. The best bet we found was this teak bar from Skagerak Denmark...

The Skagerak Denmark bar is made of teak with brass hardware, so it'll hold up in wet spaces like bathrooms. This teak towel bar is suprisingly affordable, too, priced at $29 at JMX Co..

While it's not the same as the stunning ones in the Margaret Esherick House, they are nice and atypical. We're glad Kahn inspired us to look around for towel bars in a new material.
