This sleek coat stand , constructed with a cast iron base and cast aluminium hooks, has a great balance of material use while maintaining a clean and refined look. An internal bearing allows the hooks to rotate for easy access from all angles.
The cigar like shape of the vertical support gently tappers off at each end and leads into the cast hooks which offer a unique form both functional and visually intriguing. Named the ‘Wiking’ or ‘Viking’ coat stand, the sculpted form bears resemblance to the helmets of the nordic viking age.
