A vintage coat rack designed by Ehlen Johansson for Ikea. This piece is an example of the playful and functional design for which the Swedish manufacturer became known in the late 20th century. The design, in the shape of a stylized dog, is instantly recognizable and adds a humorous element to any space.
The coat rack is made of red lacquered metal, with the shape created by bending and welding metal rods. The silhouette of the dog not only serves as a decorative element but is also functional, with multiple hooks for hanging coats, bags, and other accessories. This design is a typical example of Postmodern and Memphis styles, which often used vibrant colors and unconventional shapes.
The overall condition of the coat rack is good, with a character that matches its age. The original red lacquer is largely intact and retains its vibrant color. This item has become a beloved collector's item among enthusiasts of Ikea classics and Postmodern design.
This wall-mounted coat rack is a charming addition to a hallway, children's room, or office. It combines effortlessly with both vintage and modern interiors and offers a functional solution with a distinct personality.
