Single hooks are available in blister packs, with three, five or nine hook units also available: customised lengths can be made to order. Each hook and spacer has a wedge-shaped section in the back. An aluminium back plate screws to the wall and the hooks and spacers slide onto the plate, thus giving an invisible fixing. A hat, coat and umbrella stand comes within the range and has been so designed that it can be demounted and packed into a parcel small enough to go through the post. \r\n\r\nVariset range of integrated hat and coat hooks, designed by Kenneth Grange, made by A J Binns Ltd; Prices from 52p.","physicalDescription":"Variset range of hat and coat hooks, aluminium.
