Thinking about different routines that might occur between rooms like in a hallway, mud room or entry, I came up with the idea for a row of coat hooks that are obscured by a mirror. This way the items are more neatly held down rather than sticking out into a hallway. It might make for an interesting visual point as the tops of coats, scarves, and bags are chopped of. Also, it allows for a quick assessment of one’s hair, coat choice, make-up, etc before one heads out the door or upon their return.

The assembly and materials choice I want to keep simple. The manufacturing might be a might more complicated. As currently envisioned, it would be made entirely of aluminum. The pegs and spacers at the hinge points would be anodized red. The rest would be bead blasted. The mirror itself would be the face of the aluminum buffed to a mirror finish. I will have to do a test of how well a mirror finish actually works as a mirror. Otherwise, an inlay space could be machined from the face to allow for a real mirror (that would need to be waterjet cut) to be set. This piece might be too expensive to produce…TBD.
