Happy Hatstand

If the corner of your eye sees a coat on a hatstand, your brain will tell you "A coat is on that hatstand. Groovy." If the corner of your eye sees a hat on a hatstand, your brain will tell you "A hat is on that hatstand. All is right with the cosmos." If, however, the corner of your eye registers a coat and hat on a hatstand, your home alone, survival instinct-driven brain will tell you "Woooaargh! Silent intruder lurking in hallway! Panic!"

To avoid these moments of raw and unnecessary terror comes the Happy Hatstand. The Happy Hatstand is largely similar to standard hatstand, with a central pillar, some balance generating feet and a sufficiency of places to store a lady's outdoor apparel. The difference is that central pillar of the the Happy Hatstand is hollow and contains a brightly coloured, retractable and protective sheath for your coats and hats. Simply depressing the satisfyingly clicky button on the foot of the stand will deploy the sheath, causing it to fire into the air and float gently down, hiding completely any potentially alarming clothing. Press the button again and the sheath is withdrawn into the central pillar.

Available in a variety of mix and match styles, the Happy Hatstand will also amuse small children and generally make your hall look tidier and 37% more swish.
