Freestanding floor coat rack with an organic, sculptural design, made of steam-bent wood with a matte white lacquer finish.
It features a double arch at the base, with two circular openings at the top and dark plastic inserts for holding umbrellas, alongside a recessed drip tray in the base.
The central upright rises and forks into a “Y” at the top, forming two shaped upper arms (suitable for hanging hats or coats) and two intermediate metal hooks beneath the joint for jackets and keys.
The piece combines the minimalism and warmth of organic forms typical of Nordic design with the functional ingenuity of Italian modernism of the 1970s and ’80s. Its flowing, shaped lines evoke the tradition of bentwood craftsmanship, reinterpreted in a contemporary style.

Appendiabiti da terra autoportante dal design organico e scultoreo, realizzato in legno sagomato a caldo con finitura laccata bianco opaco. 
Presenta una doppia arcata alla base con due fori circolari superiori ed elementi plastificati scuri inseriti per ospitare gli ombrelli, affiancati da una vaschetta salvagocce incassata nella base.
Il fusto centrale sale fino a biforcarsi a "Y" nella parte superiore, creando due bracci superiori sagomati (adatti per appendere cappelli o cappotti) e due ganci metallici intermedi posti sotto lo snodo per giacche e chiavi.
Il pezzo unisce il minimalismo e il calore delle forme organiche tipiche del design nordico con l'ingegnosità funzionale del modernismo italiano anni '70-'80. La struttura sagomata a linee flessuose richiama la tradizione della lavorazione del legno curvato riletta in chiave contemporanea.
