Xy+Z

Well Groomed Fox are a Wellington based duo who has designed a very clever clothing rack.

The XY+Z Suit Rack was a finalist for German Design Council sponsored the D3 Interior Innovation Award at the D3 Design Talents exhibition at imm Cologne 2010, and also shortlisted the iF Design Concept Award 2011. The XY+Z Suit Rack also was exhibited in April 2010 in Milan as part of our debut collection at Salone Satellite and more recently at the Dowse Art Museum.

The contemporary man’s XY+Z suit rack, is elegant, fun and modern, inspired by the traditional mens’ valet clothing stand. The XY+Z suit rack was conceived to be functional and visually appealing in a contemporary home or apartment, both when the product is dressed and perhaps more importantly when the piece is undressed.

The suit rack is both CNC bent and hand formed from a single line in 3 axes from mild steel, which is then powder coated with a light texture to prevent clothes slipping off, the piece breakdowns for easy assembly, disassembly and flat-pack transport. The XY+Z suit rack is designed for installation on walls in both domestic and commercial environments.

TECHNICAL INFO: 12.7mm CNC bent steel rod construction, powder coated in a lightly textured black. Product attaches to (nearly) any surface using included specified fixings, which are not visible when the suit rack is assembled on the wall. Product when assembled on the wall measures H2000mmxW1130mmxD12-200mm.

Please note we are good at making clothes but pretty crap at anything that involves drills, wall plugs and screws.

We recommend that you get your "mate who is a builder" or Father to do the installation.

In the Navy

The Navy Suit remains one of those items that most men need in their wardrobe and its versatility can be explained by focussing on a few key points. A Navy or mid-blue is far more versatile and interesting in terms of colour combination. Midnight looks smart with a white shirt and black shoes, but not a lot...

Bye Bye BlackBerry

I am a long term user of mobile devices. It all started with a Bell South connection in the late nineties and a Motorola DynaTac or "brick" as they were affectionately known: not much good for anything except making and receiving calls. This was then replaced and upgraded at regular intervals and included the Nokia 8110 and...
