Strongly inspired by the coat rack design of Makio Hasuike for Gedy, this revised version was manufactured in Italy by Metalplastica Lucchese. More than a simple and soulless copy, the manufacturer of this coat towel rack improved a few details that make this piece even better, in my humble opinion, than the real thing: the base is made of metal instead of plastic which makes the whole thing a lot more sturdy and the four hooks at the top can be rotated independently in order to maximize the amount of clothes that can be hang. Great condition with minor wear consistent with age and use
