The Ferm Living Basho Wall Hanger is one of those pieces that makes you wonder why most wall hooks are so boring. This thing is made from solid brass and has this really beautiful curved shape that reminds me of something you'd see in a Japanese tea house - hence the name Basho, I'm guessing. The brass has this warm, golden tone that gets better with age, developing a nice patina over time instead of looking cheap and shiny forever. Here's what I love about it - it's actually useful. You can hang your coat on it, sure, but it also works for bags, scarves, towels, pretty much whatever. The curve gives you different hanging options depending on what you're putting on it. It mounts to the wall with just a couple screws, nothing complicated. The brass is thick enough that you don't have to baby it or worry about it bending if you hang something heavy. I've got mine in my entryway and it handles winter coats just fine. Ferm Living does this thing where they take basic household items and make them worth looking at. This wall hanger could have been just another generic hook, but instead they gave it this thoughtful shape and used quality materials. It's the kind of piece that makes guests ask where you got it, which is always a good sign. The Danish design influence is obvious - functional but beautiful, simple but not boring.
