In Q’s home in No Time To Die, the hallway holds a small piece of very good design. As Moneypenny and Daniel Craig’s Bond pass by, an Eames Hang-It-All hangs on the wall: a coat rack designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1953 and still made by Herman Miller. It is the kind of object a man of settled taste would own whether or not a film had noticed it. More from the film and the Daniel Craig films.
Using the Eames Hang-It-All now
The idea is simple. A welded steel frame, powder-coated, carries a scatter of hooks that each end in a round, solid wood knob. The knobs are the point: a thin linen jacket or a knitted scarf hangs from a smooth curve rather than a sharp edge. It began life in the 1950s as a rack for children’s belongings, marketed by the toy company Tigrett, and Herman Miller reissued it in 1994.
We would choose the black frame with walnut knobs. It is the quietest of the colourways, and it suits a hallway of dark wool and tweed. It holds up to 50lb according to Herman Miller, so it will take a heavy coat and a bag together. Check your wall before you hang it: plasterboard anchors are fine for most hallways, but solid plaster or masonry wants proper fixings. Buy from Herman Miller or an authorised dealer, since copies are common. More ideas for the house are in our home and interiors category.
