Help wanted! Name our next product

UPDATE: Thank you very much for all the super creative names. We will announce the new name on monday the 1st of February.

A coat rack named???
This is our next product. It is a coat rack and its name is… well, this is where we need your help. Normally we keep the name process to ourselves, but this time we thought it could be fun if you – our dear reader – would help us. We have a few name suggestions, but are still looking for that “now why didn’t I think of that” – name.

Think – but think fast
You only have until monday the 25th of January.

The prize
If we choose to use your name suggestion, you will be rewarded with one of the very first Normann Copenhagen coat racks. We do not promise that the best suggestion will actually be the name of the product.

How to submit your suggestion?
Write it in the comments field above, send a mail to blog(at)normann-copenhagen.com, or Twitter the name followed by the hashtag #NameANormann

More pictures of the coat rack below.

Last summer we were part of the design jury for the LaunchPad at the Pulse fair in London. Lots of talent and dreams were gathered in Earls Court. Amongst the many up and coming British design talents, Normann Copenhagen chose  Jade Barnes-Richardsons coat rack as ”Best New Product”. Together with Jade, we are now putting her design into production.

The coat rack will be available in 4 different colors, but you have to wait for the official launch of the product, to see them.

  8. 10 Trevor vaugh January 21, 2010 at 10:32 am

    I think it should be named “Flock” as it looks like a flock of birds. Failing that maybe just “birds”

  9. 12 Casper Lehmann January 21, 2010 at 10:41 am

    “braceface” (bøjlefjæs) eller “kluddermor” ;)

    “Rackstar” – looks like stars and it’s pretty rock n’ roll-ish

  16. 21 Mal262 January 21, 2010 at 11:14 am

    “simple wire” —

    It says a lot about the producy –

    Design: simple/elegant
    Material: wire/steal

    Thats my suggestion

  40. 58 Nicklas January 24, 2010 at 4:46 pm

    What about iRack? ;)

    Or Servant or perhaps “Jack it” (or variations of this; Jacquit, jack-it…) so it sounds like “jacket”. “Racket” (mix of rack and jacket) would sound cool too :)

  41. 59 sasha January 24, 2010 at 5:01 pm

    ROADS TO COATS

  42. 60 iMark January 24, 2010 at 8:25 pm

    “Hanging Tough”

  43. 61 lome January 24, 2010 at 8:52 pm

    “Hanging touch” har jeg allerede forslået;-)

    • 62 iMark January 25, 2010 at 2:40 pm

      Ups. Det må du undskylde. Den forsvandt i mængden! Synes ellers, at jeg var hele listen igennem… Jeg pudser lige brillerne engang. ;o)

  44. 63 Jill Bals January 25, 2010 at 4:53 am

    “Overcast”. It looks like a cloud. And I would cast my belongings over it.

  45. 64 Chantel January 25, 2010 at 7:07 am

    Nodding in the direction of Eames’ beloved “Hang-it-all,” how about an updated play, like “Let’s-hang-out.”

  46. 65 Ed January 25, 2010 at 1:16 pm

    My suggestions:

    Antigravity

    Death to gravity

    Gripwire

    fired Wire

    The upshot

    The Neils Bhor device

    String theory

  51. 72 SpottedByNormannCopenhagen January 26, 2010 at 8:26 am

    Thank you.

    First of all we want to say thank you very much to everybody who helped us find the perfect name for our next product. With more than 100 super creative names we are sure to find the perfect one. The winner name will be announced on the first of February.

  52. 73 Camilla January 26, 2010 at 11:29 am

    NORMA will be at beutiful name :-)

  53. 74 Eliana Tomas January 26, 2010 at 4:56 pm

    i would use these on my hall to hang stuff when i get home… so i would call it “welcome” or “hello”, instead of something literally related to the product. the unexpected is always much nicer and more engaging!.
    great design.

    anyway, i’m already late to give my opinion :)

We love great design

Normann Copenhagen is a way of living - a mindset. We like to think of it as putting on a pair of glasses and seeing the world in a different way. We love to challenge the conventional design rules.

On this blog we write about our design, the designers, and interesting things we spot around our hometown - Copenhagen.

Enjoy
Normann Copenhagen
