We live in Cornwall, we love it, but it rains a lot!
So when we're not enjoying the sunshine in flipflops, or barefoot on the beach,we're wearing our wellies!

But the trouble with wellies is, they get muddy, and when the sun is shining theysit in a pile by the door, looking, well, untidy, not good if you're a tidy freak like me!We didn't have a boot rack because frankly all the ones we've seen are ugly, notgood if you're a design freak like jon! !

So jon being up for a challenge took it upon himself to apply his function andform design disciplines to solve the boot storage issue. A few mellow waves to free up the mind, a bottle of red and a sketch pad, theflowing lines of the bootloop were born.The sculptural influences of mother nature, henry moore and the bauer housemovement, combine into an art form, as well as a practical piece of kit.You can even use the curves as a boot jack to remove your muddy wellies, jon you're a genius!Finding someone to make them for us was another challenge, but after a lot of searching we found Ian who makes stuff out of steel, by hand in cornwall.

The boots sit happily by the door, in the sunshine, and when it rains the bootloop becomes a piece of sculpture.
Problem solved!
