As you might have noticed, we're obsessed with the Dot Coat Hooks from Scandinavian design house Muuto. A few days ago, while walking the aisles of my hardware store, I came across a similar-looking raw wood knob, but in a miniature version, and made a command decision to try them out in my kitchen. It's almost identical in shape, although smaller and made from white birch instead of oak. Here are the results (what do you think?).
