Standard Pipework Functional Decor





 

No matter how many hooks and hangers we have it seems like it's never enough.  One of  the problems that we have found with store bought hooks is that they tend to always look the same, or be made out of some cheap plastic material…enter Nick Fraser.  Nick has made an art out of creating everything from coat racks to candle holders using standard pipe components.  Inspirational designs that are sure to brighten up any wall turning storage into an artform!  

Aside from being artful and fairly easy to piece together, another great thing  about these pieces is that you can use recycled or reclaimed parts that might otherwise end up in the landfill!
