We first came across Emma Fox Derwin and Nigel Groom of Wellington based design studio Well-Groomed-Fox a couple of years ago. Since then, they've exhibited in Milan at the Salone del Mobile, at the Interieur Biennale in Belgium and at the D3 Design Talents Competition at the Cologne Fair in Germany. Having formed their studio in 2008, the multidisciplinary designers have worked with clients that include international fashion brand Fred Perry.

The XY+Z suit rack started out as an investigation into the habitual act of dressing, and the storage of clothing. They considered how to move away from a traditional flowing wardrobe, and asked themselves, 'can we introduce formality to the everyday act of dressing?'.

Inspired by the traditional men's valet clothing the stand, the suit rack can accommodate an entire ensemble: jacket, shirt, tie, belt, pants, hat and shoes. Conceived to be both functional yet visually appealing, the product is easy to assemble and disassemble and can be flat-packed for transport.
