Designer coat stands
The Boot Kidz are 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.

The sport "welly wangling" combines the colourful, bright, funky neoprenes 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.
