For sale is a true design classic of German Mid-Century Modernism: an original wall-mounted coat rack made of black-coated metal wire, designed in the 1950s by Karl Fichtel for the renowned wire manufacturer Erlau A.G. in Aalen.
This rare model impresses with its sculptural, geometric grid structure and blends perfectly into minimalist hallways or Scandinavian-inspired interiors. With a rare and generous width of 81 cm, this piece offers significantly more space than the more common, narrower versions. The elegantly curved metal grid at the top forms a functional shelf for hats and bags. It is particularly noteworthy that the coat rack is in completely original condition and comes complete with five of the original, freely positionable hooks (three white, two black).
This rare piece is a true gem. Specifications:
