KNAX and Alternative Flip Coat Racks

KNAX was introduced in 1995 and was the first coat rack on the market to combine folding hooks with a built-in spring mechanism and a refined wooden design.

Since then, many alternative products have appeared — often referred to as “piano key coat racks” or “flip hook racks.” These include products from brands such as Umbra, ILVA, and low-cost mass-market platforms like Temu.

While these alternatives may look similar at first glance, there are significant differences:

  • Many are produced using lighter materials, veneers, plastics, or simplified mechanisms.
  • Load capacity per hook is often significantly lower.
  • Springs and moving parts may wear out faster with daily use.
  • Design focus is frequently on price rather than longevity or craftsmanship.

KNAX remains distinct by offering original design, tested strength, handcrafted production, and long-term durability — not just a visual resemblance.
