10 clever ways to use Muuto The Dots Coat Hooks in your home
The current trend for designer-style, multi-functional wall knobs and hooks can be traced back to 2007 when Norwegian designer Lars Tornøe made his iconic 'The Dots' wooden coat hooks for Danish design brand Muuto.
These rounded hooks, made from ash wood and available in three sizes and a variety of colours, could be hung in various graphic patterns on the wall, opening up a world of possibilities for use - from hanging coats, scarves and bags to towels and necklaces. They have also been purposed and personalised as sculptural wall decorations in their own right.
Like many other iconic pieces of Scandinavian design, Muuto The Dots have been interpreted as a functional piece of beautiful design in multiple rooms and homes around the globe.
I’ve rounded up 10 clever ways to use Muuto's Dots in every room of your home. (It's actually 11 if you count the pic at the top of this post - Lisa's hung one of her amazing woven wall hangings from the Muuto Dots in her living room.) Have a look and be inspired.
