Eames Hang-It-All Gets the Select Treatment

Susan Huls, the new editor of our sister blog Discover, has put together a very nice post on the new Eames Select Hang-It-All. I know I want one (we wrote about them back in July). I may have to wait for my birthday next June. Although, it’s a limited edition piece so if you want one too you’ll have to move on it before February.

Here’s what Susan had to say “This year, Herman Miller’s Select program is offering a classic interpretation of the multicolored Eames Hang-It-All. Sophisticated touches to the already eye-catching design include a black steel frame and solid walnut hooks.

The Hang-It-All was inspired by the Eameses’ love for playful furniture and children’s toys. Introduced in 1953, it was designed to hold an assortment of children’s belongings—mittens, scarves, jackets, dolls, slingshots, skates, and knapsacks, according to Eames Design.

It was available from Tigrett Enterprises’ Playhouse Division until the company went out of business in 1961. Herman Miller reintroduced it in 1994.

Herman Miller’s Gregg Vander Kooi chose to feature the Hang-It-All as this year’s Select item because of its whimsical appeal.

“Plus,” he adds, “walnut is a fairly neutral wood that fits with almost any décor.”

The Select Hang-It-All carries a minimum advertised price of $249. It will be available from the company’s global network of dealerships and retailers.

Hurry! It’s only available until February 15, 2011, or while supplies last.”

Charles and Ray Eames designed the Hang it All almost 60 years ago. Today we’re announcing a tweak to the much-loved coat rack. You’ll find solid walnut hooks instead of colourful balls and the frame is now also available in black, welded-steel.

Let us know what you think.
