The Ona Coat Rack manages to look just as much like a piece of artwork even more than it resembles a convenient storage system. The linear rack is made of a ripple of molded wood, with projections at regular intervals to allow for the hanging of coats, bags, umbrellas or anything else that needs to be shed by the door. From Mobles 114 in Barcelona, the rack was originally introduced in 1992, designed by Montse Padros and Carlos Riart, and has been a favorite ever since. Price: $208.

The Big 5 Coat Rack gets its name from the five large knobs that make up the design. Mounted on a structural frame which screws onto the wall, the knobs come in four colors. The plate will look best and the least conspicuous on a white wall, where the colors of piece will be highlighted easily when the rack is not in use. Another advantage over a tradition stand coat rack is that it takes up far less space in the room and might even be mistaken for a modern art installation by unsuspecting guests. And there is nothing to stop you from telling them that it is a piece of modern art by designer James Irvine - it's just functional art. Price: $250.

We have had quite a few posts about bicycles and bike accessories recently on Luxist. Though the bikes themselves may verge on luxury, surely there is nothing glamorous about keeping one chained in your garage, right? That is where the Cyclepod comes in. This revolutionary cycle storage system lets you store up to eight bicycles in a space that is only 2-meters in diameter. The way it works is by locking the bikes into place in a vertical position, which alone looks much more appealing than the old fashioned "toast rack style" units. It is made out of 100% recycled aluminum. The Cyclepod could, of course, be used commercially, but it would also be a good piece for the avid bicycle enthusiast to store his/her gear. The canopy ($1,495) is optional. Cyclepod alone price: $8,995.
