The Coat Hook - Selection & Refinement

I decided to pick one of the "Drip" concepts as my coat hook.  This sketch was one of the highest rated and arguably my favourite. I created a rough model of this concept in Rhino and I'm liking the idea even more. I believe this hook meets all the criteria - taking a creative approach to a simple but aesthetic and user friendly idea. 

The Coat Hook

My rough concepts for an ideal coat hook.   1. & 2. Drips - These hooks would be fastened to the wall with screws. Although simple, this design is one of my favourites.  3. BEN Hook - This hook would also be fastened to the wall with screws. I think this would look cool on the wall as well as fairly easy to print. 4. Hand Hook - This idea would be the coolest to create, however, the hardest. This would be attached via French cleat.  5. Gun Hook - Not the greatest looking design but with some adjustments/details I believe it would look great on the wall. This would fastened with screws.  6. Kaws Clown Hook - Another design on the more simple side of the bunch. The knob to hang a coat would be the nose. This would be attached to the wall via French cleat.   

Final Hollow

 I decided to pick this model as my print as it's abstract yet symmetrical.  The top & bottom are both covered but the inside is hollow.  The settings for this print are in the above images. Using a 3mm brim for support.
