Boot Kidz Exhibition Window Display

The London Design Festival in partnership with a leading children's clothing retailer, exhibited the Boot Kidz in the window of a high-street window display. The Boot Kidz coat stands have also appeared in Space Magazine, Icon, and the Scotland on Sunday.

Coat Stands

Karen Henry has taken the ordinary coat stand and created a unique product combining Wellington Boots and coat stands.

Designer coat stands

The Boot Kidz are a collection of designer coat stands for use in exhibitions, shop display designs, kids parties, design events.

If you're looking for cute in your shop design this attention grabbing metal, high quality electro-painted, and cement design will work for you. Eye-catching window displays, compact design, reduced floor space, and fun - a cute child mannequin cartoon form - a unique and funky design.

The frame is made by bending steel using metal formers. Each Boot Kid is the outline of a character, formed in metal bar. The base can be removed and is optional. The design itself is a fun play on 2D movie/media reality crossing into 3D reality, moving from fantasy to form. See here for a close-up of the design and size details.

Hang Clothes - Perfect for the new school term and for winter

Perfect for those cold wet winter rainy days in London. When the kids return muddy and wet. Hang their rain coats, jerseys, anoraks, scarves, hats, bags, school clothes, bags... Put their Wellington boots next to the cement Wellington boots on the base to dry. Use it like a coat stand or coat hook. An ideal dress-former if you're a child's clothes-fitter or seamstress.

Fun Furniture for Kids Bedrooms

Put the outline of a cartoon character on a skateboard - hey presto - Joe The Boot Kid. Make tidying up fun. Your kids will love to hang their coats and clothes on this designer cartoon-style coat stand. Great for children's bedrooms as a clothes horse. Can be used to hang school uniforms and school bags. Three models: Joe is a coat stand for boys and Chloe and Lucy are clothes stands for girls.

Wellington Boots - Galosh! Galosh!

The sound rubber boots make in the mud - the splish-splash sound of boots stepping in puddles in the rain. Gardening in April, trundling through the wetlands - there's nothing like Wellington Boots.

Welly Wanging

The sport "welly wangling" combines colourful, bright, funky neoprenes - shotput - and a bit of Cotswold quaintness.

Fashionable Wellington Boots

Wellington's are now hot fashion items. They're even worn to work! Furniture designer Karen Henry, has used them to build a coat stand with cement Wellington Boots. Cement was poured into real Wellington Boots and cast to create a base for the coat stand.

Origin of Wellington Boots

Wellington Boots originate from when the first Duke of Wellington instructed his shoemaker, Hoby of St. James's Street, London, to modify Hessian boots (18^th century)? 200 years later we have: Rain boots, Galoshes (USA), Wellygogs (North/Midlands UK), Wellybobs (Slipper Wellies, UK), Wellies (UK), Hessian Boots (UK, 18^th century) - these were the forerunners to Wellington Boots, Muddies (UK), Top boots (Ireland), Gumboots (South Africa), Miner boots (South Africa), Muck Boots (UK), Snow Boots (Canada).
