Considered Hardware

A wall-mounted coat rack in bent bamboo and rattan, the frame shaped in the organic curves and cane-bound joints characteristic of Franco Albini's work for Bonacina. At 82cm wide it takes a household's worth of coats, and the sculptural frame means it earns its wall space even when empty. An example of the period's habit of applying serious design to everyday objects. Suits an entrance hall, bedroom or bathroom.
