Multipurpose Black Iron Towel Bars from Japan

Noticed recently: new black iron bars from Japan for hanging everything from towels to kitchen cookware on S hooks. The bars are available at Orne de Feuilles, an online shop based in Shibuya, Japan.

Above: The Large Iron Bar in black is 40.5 inches long and is positioned lower on the mounting hardware than usual; ¥4,104 ($39).

Above: The bar has a depth of 2.5 inches from the wall.

Above: The Small Iron Bar in black is about 25 inches long; ¥3,024 ($29).

Above: Kitchen accessories on S hooks hang from the rails. Consider mounting the rail on the underside of a cabinet, as seen in the kitchen at the Jennings Hotel.

Above: The Small Iron Dress Hanger in black is meant for the bath, closet, or bedroom wall with a depth of 8.5 inches from the wall; ¥3,024 ($29). The Large Iron Dress Hanger in black is ¥4,104 ($39).

Above: The lineup of black rails. The bar with the greatest height in the center is the Dress Hanger bar.
