Late last year, industrial designer Adam Miklosi embarked on a self-directed project, creating primitive cars out of aluminum extrusions.

Here in the new year, he's seeking a role for the leftover extrusions. After spying DesignWanted's Rethink the Coat Rack competition, Miklosi came up with an idea:
"After the first ideation rounds, I made some early 3D-printed prototypes before diving deeper into render visualizations. Testing proportions, attachment logic, and the character of the hooks on real aluminium profiles."
"I'm genuinely happy with how these turned out. A bit rough, very early-stage, but already showing the balance I'm aiming for: industrial structure + playful, customizable elements. Also couldn't resist arranging them into a small, fun composition."

Competition aside, I think Miklosi could easily get a side hustle going by selling these. They remind me of something you'd see from Alessi in the '90s, back when design was fun!

I like the idea without the end caps., it leaves the basic idea visible.
Simple, cool. He should print color matched end caps. 8020 sells end caps for all their extrusions. It makes it much cleaner.
