Neri & Hu Coat Racks and Stands

The shapes of BATON feel very familiar. They bring to mind historic Vienna – a reference that is quite deliberate: the collection is inspired by the zeitgeist of the Secessionist movement, a collective of painters, sculptors and designers who were committed to a forward-looking, international and inclusive view of art. The product family consists of wardrobe stands in two sizes, a low coffee table and a convivial bistro table. Supplementing the practical functionality of everyday objects with distinctive form is the eternal challenge in design. And it is precisely this balancing act that Neri&Hu has pulled off with the wardrobe stands and tables in the BATON series, which comes as a homage to the Viennese Secessionist design movement. Standing proud at 183 centimeters, the taller of the wardrobe stands accommodates long coats and blazers on hangers or loops, provides space for hats and caps, and will never be thrown off balance by heavier loads. Its smaller sibling, measuring 143 centimeters, is perfect for scarves, jackets or children's clothes, and on top of it all it includes a practical, bowl-shaped tray for keys...
