Product description
A sculptural Acate coat stand designed in 2008 by Bořek Šípek for Driade. This refined object exemplifies Šípek’s poetic and expressive approach to design, where functional objects are transformed into narrative, almost botanical forms.
The Acate coat stand is crafted from polished brass and unfolds vertically like a stylized plant or tree, with delicate offshoots extending from three slender stems. The composition feels organic and rhythmic, balancing elegance with quiet theatricality. Light plays softly across the brass surface, accentuating the gentle curves and lending the piece a warm, almost jewel-like presence. While fully functional, the coat stand reads foremost as a sculptural object a signature quality of Šípek’s work.
Produced by Driade, a brand celebrated for embracing experimental and artistic design, the Acate coat stand occupies a space between furniture and art. It brings a sense of wit, craftsmanship, and narrative to the interior, standing confidently as both utility and statement.
A distinctive and collectible design object from the early 21st century, ideal for refined interiors and design-focused collections.
