Prolific Danish designer Hans J. Wegner thought of this valet chair as a way to maximize clothes-folding efficiency at bedtime.  

The resulting piece has a coat hanger back and features a seat that lifts to support more clothes and reveal a secret storage space.  

Disatisfied with the heavy appearance of the original design, Wegner removed one of the legs for the finished valvet chair, out in 1953.

Karl Lagerfeld asked his parents for a valet as a precocious birthday present, you know.
