Triplet is a multifunctional coat and hat rack that utilizes five-axis machining technology. Its design inspiration comes from the densely intertwined roots of a banyan tree, with branches branching out and growing upwards, creating a micro-ecosystem where various animals and birds can nest and perch. 

Similar to a banyan tree with multiple roots and trunks supporting and spreading upwards, Triplet represents a stable typology. It allows for placement, hanging, and leaning, offering a remarkable level of freedom compared to traditional coat racks that typically feature a single main pole for hanging, making it difficult to balance the center of gravity.

Triplet excels in balance, stability, load-bearing capacity, and practicality. It effortlessly suspends bags, clothes, and hats without worrying about the center of gravity. When used in combination with hangers, its load-bearing capacity significantly increases. The six hanging arms can support items weighing over 50kg in total, while also allowing for the stacking of temporarily placed objects.

 The modular design of Triplet ensures that each support leg is identical. In the final design and production, only two types of wooden assembly components are used, consisting of a central spiral piece and six identical standard pieces, greatly simplifying the manufacturing process. The round turned copper hangers are perfect for hanging clothes, hats, and even heavier backpacks. Triplet is available in oak, black walnut, and teak versions.
