Ideal for small spaces, Tilt is a simplistic, eco-friendly coat and shoe rack.

Made from an oak frame of FSC-certified wood, the Tilt is hand-finished in a Danish oil. The hooks are hand-turned in steel and then covered in a powder white coat. The shelves for shoes are also made from powder-coated steel, and are removable for easy cleaning.

As you can see in the photos, Tilt gets its name from its slight angle. With angled legs, each foot has a rubber piece to prevent slipping and sliding.

Tilt is designed by Lewis Mitchell, a London-based designer.
